Epstein-Barr Virus Infection Alters Cellular Signal Cascades in Human Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Cells
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection is a critical event in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumorigenesis. EBV-encoded genes have been shown to be involved in immune evasion and in the regulation of various cellular signaling cascades. To elucidate the roles of EBV in NPC development, stable infection of EBV in nasopharyngeal epithelial cell lines was established. Similar to primary tumors of NPC, these...
