Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 inhibits AID expression during EBV-driven B-cell growth
2 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination in germinal centers critically depend on activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Deregulation of AID may lead to the aberrant activation or persistence of both genetic processes, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas by mistargeted mutagenesis or recombination. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes an asymptomatic latent infection in...
