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. Thus EBNA1 will be an appropriate target for specific molecular therapy against EBV-associated cancers. We constructed a mutant (mt) EBNA1 lacking the N-terminal-half, relative to wild-type (wt) EBNA1, and...
