Abstract: Antibodies and compositions of matter useful for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection in mammals, and methods of using those compositions of matter for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of EBV infection are described. Also described are proteins, referred to as anti-gp350 antibody probes, and anti-gp350 B-cell probes, that maintain the epitope structure of the CR2-binding region of gp350, but do not bind CR2.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind gp42 of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are described. The antibodies are capable of blocking fusion of EBV-infected cells and neutralizing EBV infection. Use of the EBV-specific monoclonal antibodies, and conjugates thereof, for the treatment and prophylaxis of EBV infection is also described.

Abstract: Vaccines are provided that elicit neutralizing antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Some vaccines comprise nanoparticles that display envelope proteins from EBV on their surface. The nanoparticles comprise fusion proteins comprising a monomeric subunit of a self-assembly protein, such as ferritin, joined to at least a portion of an EBV envelope protein. The fusion proteins self-assemble to form the envelope protein-displaying nanoparticles. Such vaccines can be used to vaccinate an individual against infection by different types of Epstein-Barr viruses as well as Epstein-Barr viruses that are antigenically divergent from the virus from which the EBV envelope protein was obtained. Also provided are fusion proteins and nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins.
