Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are frequently expressed in malignant tumor cells and are thought to play crucial roles in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here we report that expression of MMP9 is increased in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected type III latency lymphoma cell lines, but not in type I lines where latent viral gene expression is highly restricted. Type III cell lines express abundant EBV latent...
