Abstract excerpt
The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) oncogene is one of the major proteins synthesized by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and is expressed in Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells of EBV-associated Hodgkin's disease (HD). We have studied the effect of this oncoprotein on the formation of RS cells in the EBV-negative HD cell lines L-428 and KM-H2 as well as on the formation of multinucleated cells in the mononuclear human...
