Latent Membrane Protein 1 Inhibits Epstein-Barr Virus Lytic Cycle Induction and Progress via Different Mechanisms
27 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a potent growth-transforming agent of human B cells. It has previously been shown that viral latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for EBV-induced transformation of normal B cells and contributes to maintenance of latency in vitro. Using the EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma line P3HR1-c16, which lacks LMP1 during latency and which can readily be activated into virus-productive...
