Abstract
Antigens, immunogens, inocula, antibodies, and particularly diagnostic methods and systems relating to Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen (EBNA) are disclosed. The diagnostic methods and systems utilize a synthetic, random copolymer polypeptide containing about 6 to about 40 amino acid residues having a sequence corresponding to the sequence of a CMV-encoded polypeptide antigen. The diagnostic methods and systems are particularly useful in identifying infections mononucleosis during its acute phase.
