## Abstract Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the LightCycler instrument (LC‐PCR) was developed to measure the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) load in clinical samples. LC‐PCR detected two copies of the EBV genome per 500 ng of DNA. Its specificity was confirmed by assays in EBV‐ne
