Latent Membrane Protein LMP2A Impairs Recognition of EBV-Infected Cells by CD8+ T Cells
11 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
The common pathogen Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transforms normal human B cells and can cause cancer. Latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) of EBV supports activation and proliferation of infected B cells and is expressed in many types of EBV-associated cancer. It is not clear how latent EBV infection and cancer escape elimination by host immunity, and it is unknown whether LMP2A can influence the interaction of...
