A novel function for the Epstein–Barr virus transcription factor EB1/Zta: induction of transcription of the hIL-10 gene
24 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) plays a critical role in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) biology. Indeed, the EBV genome contains a gene (BCRF1) with homology to the human IL-10 (hIL-10) gene. In addition to viral IL-10, which is secreted late in the productive cycle, hIL-10 production is also induced in B cells infected by EBV. The EBV protein LMP-1 and the viral small non-polyadenylated RNAs (EBERs) expressed during latency...
