This test measures the following, EBV viral capsid (VCA) IgG, EBV viral capsid (VCA) IgM, EBV early antigen (EA) IgG, EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) IgG, EBV Nuclear antigen (EBNA) IgM. Following the acute phase, the virus persists mainly in the epithelial cells and B lymphocytes for the rest of the afflicted person’s life.
