Epstein Barr Virus R Transactivator (RTA) Technology
A novel antibody enabling the detection and qualification of the RTA protein, a key factor in the detection of early Epstein Barr Virus.
Introduction
The R Transactivator (RTA) is one of the two main transactivators originating from the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). It acts in synergy with the Zebra protein in the switch-latency productive cycle. The transactivator demonstrates significant potential as a marker for the early detection of EBV infection. This technology is available to license to organisations working in the field of monoclonal antibody distribution.
