1 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
The potentially oncogenic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is carried by almost all humans in a well equilibrated coexistence. The phenotype of the cells that carry EBV genomes is determined by virally-encoded and cellular proteins. B lymphocyte is the main target of the virus and latent infection of this cell induces proliferation. Nine virus-encoded genes participate in the "growth program" that is expressed in a...
