Reagent for detecting and monitoring infections caused by the Epstein-Barr virus or EBV, which is, in particular, the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis and its applications for the detection of an EBV infection, without any stage of the infection (primary infection, healthy carriers and induced tumors). Said diagnostic reagent essentially comprises a mixture consisting of (1) a C-terminal fragment of the VCAp18 SEQ ID ndegre1 protein of the Epstein virus. Barr (EBV) comprising at most 60 amino acids, preferably between 20 and 30 amino acids, and (2) a mixture or mixotope of convergent combinatorial peptides, derived from said C-terminal fragment. |
