Epstein-Barr virus latency in blood mononuclear cells: analysis of viral gene transcription during primary infection and in the carrier state

Abstract excerpt

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can display different forms of latent infection in B-cell lines in vitro; however, the types of infection normally established by the virus in vivo remain largely unexplored. Here we have approached this question by analyzing the types of viral RNAs present in mononuclear cells freshly isolated from the blood of 14 infectious mononucleosis patients undergoing primary EBV infection and 6...
