Epstein–Barr virus LMP2A increases IL-10 production in mitogen-stimulated primary B-cells and B-cell lymphomas
10 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latently infected B-cells are the precursors of EBV-associated malignancies. EBV-infection induces the production of pro-survival and anti-inflammatory cytokines that may be important in the transition between latency and malignancy. One EBV protein, LMP2A, can be detected in both latently infected resting B-cells and in EBV-associated malignancies. Therefore, we tested the ability of...
