Epstein\u2013Barr virus (EBV) is a latent virus that spreads extensively worldwide, and cell lines used in experiments may carry EBV and pose an infection risk. The presence of EBV in a single cell line can contaminate other cell lines used in the same laboratory, affecting experimental results. We developed three EBV detection systems: (1) a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection system, (2) a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based detection system, and (3) a combined RPA-lateral flow assay (LFA) detection system. The minimum EBV detection limits were 1 \u00d7 103 copy numbers for the RPA-based and RPA-LFA systems and 1 \u00d7 104 copy numbers for the PCR-based system. Both the PCR and RPA detection systems were applied to 192 cell lines, and the results were consistent with those obtained by the EBV assay methods specified in the pharmaceutical industry standards of the People\u2019s Republic of China. A total of 10 EBV-positive cell lines were identified. The combined RPA-LFA system is simple to operate, allowing for rapid result visualization. This system can be implemented in laboratories and cell banks as part of a daily quality control strategy to ensure cell quality and experimental safety and may represent a potential new technique for the rapid detection of EBV in clinical samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v16010106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T08:27:07Z","timestamp":1704961627000},"page":"106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Development of a Rapid Epstein\u2013Barr Virus Detection System Based on Recombinase Polymerase Amplification and a Lateral Flow Assay"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5588-3772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yidan","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danni","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yudong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2498-2769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meimei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4687-0127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"China Center for Type Culture Collection, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1007\/s10529-006-9297-y","article-title":"Recombinant protein production by large-scale transient gene expression in mammalian cells: State of the art and future perspectives","volume":"29","author":"Baldi","year":"2007","journal-title":"Biotechnol.
