This protocol permits the isolation of Epstein-Barr virus particles from the human P3HR1 cell line upon inducing the viral lytic cycle with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. DNA is subsequently extracted from the viral preparation and subjected to real-time PCR to quantify the viral particle concentration.
