16 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The human gammaherpesviruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) both infect lymphoid and epithelial cells and both are implicated in the development of cancer. The two viruses establish latency in B-lymphoid cells that, once disrupted, leads to a burst of virus replication during the lytic cycle. A basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor encoded by EBV, Zta (also...
