Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1), a latent viral protein consistently expressed in infected proliferating cells, is essentially required in trans to maintain EBV episomes in cells. We constructed a mutant (mt) EBNA1 and examined whether it exerted dominant-negative effects on maintenance of the viral episome thereby leading to abrogation of EBV-infected tumor cell growth. Using lymphocyte and...
