Inhibition of the Epstein–Barr virus lytic cycle by Zta-targeted RNA interference

Abstract excerpt

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation into the lytic cycle plays certain roles in the development of EBV-associated diseases, so an effective strategy to block the viral lytic cycle may be of value to reduce the disease risk or to improve the clinical outcome. This study examined whether the EBV lytic cycle could be inhibited using RNA interference (RNAi) directed against the essential viral gene Zta. In cases of...
