Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with aggressive B cell lymphomas (BCLs). Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of EBV is an oncogenic protein required for EBV B cell transformation. However, LMP1 is a weak oncogene in mice. Mice expressing Myc inserted 5' of the Eμ enhancer (iMyc(Eμ)), mimicking the t(8;14) translocation of endemic Burkitt lymphoma, develop delayed onset BCLs. To investigate potential...
