Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transforms human peripheral B cells into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), allowing the production of specific antibody-secreting cell lines. We and others have previously found that in contrast to peripheral blood B cells, EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines express the activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) gene. The opposite is true for the germinal center-specific BCL6...
