EEHV1B and Host DNA Quantification Across Tissue Types and Preservation Media

EEHV1B virus and host TNF-⍺ DNA quantities measured in copies per microliter across different tissue storage conditions. Jack W. Wheelahan published this 13.5 KB dataset on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The data was last updated on May 29, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of DNA/RNA Shield, RNALater, and viral transport medium for preserving viral DNA based on the described storage conditions.
• Analyze the relationship between EEHV1B viral load and host TNF-⍺ DNA levels across different tissue types mentioned in the description.
• Evaluate the degradation of viral and host nucleic acids in tissues stored without preservation media, as indicated by the dataset's focus.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• Provides specific quantitative measurements for both a virus (EEHV1B) and a host marker (TNF-⍺) in copies/µL.
• Compares four distinct tissue storage/preservation conditions: no media, DNA/RNA Shield, RNALater, and viral transport medium.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 13.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
