Epstein-Barr Virus LMP2A Alters In Vivo and In Vitro Models of B-Cell Anergy, but Not Deletion, in Response to Autoantigen
26 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
A significant percentage of the population latently harbors Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in B cells. One EBV-encoded protein, latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A), is expressed in tissue culture models of EBV latent infection, in human infections, and in many of the EBV-associated proliferative disorders. LMP2A constitutively activates proteins involved in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction cascade and...
