Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 Is Involved in Epstein-Barr Virus-Mediated Transformation of Human B Lymphocytes
17 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with many human malignancies. In vitro, EBV transforms primary B lymphocytes into continuously growing lymphoblastoid cell lines. EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP-1) is required for EBV transformation processes. Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4) is a transcription factor and has oncogenic potential. We find that high levels of IRF-4 are associated with EBV...
