Malignant Transformation of Epstein-Barr Virus-Negative Akata Cells by Introduction of the BARF1 Gene Carried by Epstein-Barr Virus
27 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous loss of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome in the BL cell line Akata led to loss of tumorigenicity in SCID mice, suggesting an important oncogenic activity of EBV in B cells. We previously showed that introduction of the BARF1 gene into the human B-cell line Louckes induced a malignant transformation in newborn rats (M. X. Wei, J. C. Moulin, G. Decaussin, F.
