Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BamHI-A rightward frame 1 (BARF1) is considered a major viral oncogene in epithelial cells and has immune-modulating properties. However, in B cells and lymphomas, BARF1 expression is restricted to the viral lytic replication cycle. In this report, the transcriptional regulation of BARF1 during lytic replication is unraveled. Bisulfite sequencing of various cell lines indicated a high...
