The Epstein-Barr Virus BARF1 Gene Encodes a Novel, Soluble Colony-Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus associated with infectious mononucleosis and several tumors. The BARF1 gene is transcribed early after EBV infection from the BamHI A fragment of the EBV genome. Evidence shown here indicates that the BARF1 protein is secreted into the medium of transfected cells and from EBV-carrying B cells induced to allow lytic replication of the virus. Expression cloning...
