Epstein-Barr Virus Promotes Epithelial Cell Growth in the Absence of EBNA2 and LMP1 Expression
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
We attempted to infect primary gastric epithelia (PGE) with recombinant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) carrying a selectable marker that made it possible to select EBV-infected cells. Cells dually positive for EBV-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA) and cytokeratin were detected in 3 of 21 primary cultures after 3 days of EBV inoculation. From one culture, EBV-infected cell clones were repeatedly obtained at a frequency...
