Abstract excerpt
The frequent expression of latent membrane proteins LMP2A and LMP2B in Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-associated tumors suggests that these proteins play a role in EBV-induced epithelial cell growth transformation. Expression of LMP2A and LMP2B had no effect on the morphology of squamous epithelial cells in monolayer culture, but their expression was associated with an increased capacity to spread and migrate on...
