Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection contributes to cancers in a fraction of seropositive individuals, but much remains to be learned about variation in EBV-directed humoral immunity in cancer-free adults. We leveraged a protein microarray to probe serum from 175 Taiwanese and 141 Northern European adults for IgG antibody responses to 115 different peptide sequences, representing protein segments or protein variants, from 45 EBV proteins. We posited that this antibody-based approach could identify EBV peptide sequences representing immunodominant regions relevant for B-cell immunity. Analyses of 45 EBV proteins with multiple protein segments or variants printed on the array identified eight EBV peptide sequences that appear to play a role in immunogenicity. This included (1) three proteins with segments/regions associated with IgG reactivity (BALF5, LMP1, LMP2A) and (2) five proteins with sequence variants/amino acid changes associated with IgG reactivity (BLF4, EBNA3A, EBNA3B, EBNA-LP, LF1). This examination of IgG antibody responses against 115 EBV peptide sequences in 316 cancer-free adults represents an important step toward identifying specific EBV protein sequences that play a role in generating B-cell immunity in humans. We utilized a virome-wide protein array to better understand whether (1) different segments of a given Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) protein and/or (2) different variants of select EBV protein sequences (i.e., amino acid changes in a protein segment) elicited differential IgG antibody reactivity in health adults. We posited that this approach would help identify EBV protein regionss containing immunodominant epitopes for eliciting antibody mediated B-cell immunity. Using this approach, we identified eight EBV proteins with at least one sequence associated with differential IgG antibody response, including three proteins with segments that were differentially reactive (BALF5, LMP1, LMP2A), and five proteins with specific amino acid changes that altered IgG antibody response (BLF4, EBNA3A, EBNA3B, EBNA-LP, LF1) in two independent populations. Our study is the largest serological survey of EBV peptide-specific IgG antibody responses to date, and the inclusion of two geographically distinct populations increases the relevance of study findings. A more complete understanding of the EBV-directed serological repertoire is an important step for the design of EBV-based diagnostic or therapeutic tools.
