Epstein–Barr virus-mediated transformation of B cells induces global chromatin changes independent to the acquisition of proliferation
3 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and transforms human primary B cells inducing indefinite proliferation. To investigate the potential participation of chromatin mechanisms during the EBV-mediated transformation of resting B cells we performed an analysis of global changes in histone modifications. We observed a remarkable decrease and redistribution of heterochromatin marks including H4K20me3, H3K27me3 and...
