EBV
EBV in situ hybridization
EBV ISH
  
  • All ISH stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • EBV is a member of Herpes virus family, and is the causative agent in infectious mononucleosis EBV is associated with some cases of Hodgkin's disease, Burkitt's lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, gastric carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma EBV is also associated with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTIPD)
  • The EBV in situ test is much more sensitive than the EBV IHC test
