The Epstein-Barr Virus Glycoprotein BDLF2 Is Essential for Efficient Viral Spread in Stratified Epithelium
23 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
, we have ascertained that the loss of the viral envelope protein BDLF2 had little effect on the EBV life cycle in B cells but severely restricted the number of infected cells in organotypic cultures. Loss of BDLF2 has a substantial impact on the size of infected areas, suggesting that BDLF2 plays a specific role in the spread of infection in stratified epithelium.
