Three restricted forms of Epstein–Barr virus latency counteracting apoptosis in c-myc-expressing Burkitt lymphoma cells
25 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human herpesvirus, transforms B cell growth in vitro through expressing six virus-coded Epstein-Barr nuclear antigens (EBNAs) and two latent membrane proteins (LMPs). In many EBV-associated tumors, however, viral antigen expression is more restricted, and the aetiological role of the virus is unclear. For example, endemic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) classically presents as a monoclonal,...
