2009-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus, EBV, is a human herpes virus that establishes a life long, persistent, latent infection in B lymphocytes. In vitro, EBV readily transforms and immortalizes primary B cells. EBV exists in two types, named EBV type 1 and type 2. These are defined on the basis of polymorphism in the EBNA2 locus. The EBNA2 gene encodes a viral transcription factor that controls viral and cell genes and is absolutel...
