SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the gammaherpesvirus subfamily and exhibits a biphasic life cycle, alternating between lytic replication and latency in B lymphocytes. The viral capsid antigen (VCA) induces IgG antibodies that appear during the acute phase of infection and persist for life, reflecting long-term immune memory. EBV IgG seroprevalence increases with age and reaches over 90% in most adult populations globally. IgG VCA studies are frequently used in population-based seroepidemiology, in research on immune memory durability, and in investigations into the relationship between persistent viral antigens and chronic immune activation.
