Mechanism of activation of the BNLF2a immune evasion gene of Epstein-Barr virus by Zta [PDF]
The human gamma herpes virus Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) exploits multiple routes to evade the cellular immune response. During the EBV lytic replication cycle, viral proteins are expressed that provide excellent targets for recognition by cytotoxic T cells.

HLA Allele E∗01:01 Is associated with a reduced risk of EBV-related classical hodgkin lymphoma independently of HLAA∗01/∗02 [PDF]
Background An inefficient immune response against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is related to the pathogenesis of a subgroup of classical Hodgkin lymphomas (cHL).

Modulation of Autophagy-Like Processes by Tumor Viruses [PDF]
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway for long-lived proteins and organelles. This process is activated above basal levels upon cell intrinsic or environmental stress and dysregulation of autophagy has been linked to various human diseases ...

CD8+ T cell responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic cycle expressed antigens display a hierarchy of immunodominance, in which responses to epitopes of immediate-early (IE) and some early (E) antigens are more frequently observed than responses to ...

Fighting viral infections and virus-driven tumors with cytotoxic CD4+ T cells [PDF]
CD4+ T cells have been and are still largely regarded as the orchestrators of immune responses, being able to differentiate into distinct T helper cell populations based on differentiation signals, transcription factor expression, cytokine secretion, and

The three-dimensional structure of Epstein-Barr virus genome varies by latency type and is regulated by PARP1 enzymatic activity [PDF]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persists in human B-cells by maintaining its chromatinized episomes within the nucleus. We have previously shown that cellular factor Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) binds the EBV genome, stabilizes CTCF binding at ...

An Epstein-Barr Virus Encoded Inhibitor of Colony Stimulating Factor-1 Signaling Is an Important Determinant for Acute and Persistent EBV Infection [PDF]
Acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is the most common cause of Infectious Mononucleosis. Nearly all adult humans harbor life-long, persistent EBV infection which can lead to development of cancers including Hodgkin Lymphoma, Burkitt Lymphoma ...

Therapies based on targeting Epstein‐Barr virus lytic replication for EBV‐associated malignancies
In this article, we describe recent advances regarding the involvement of the EBV lytic cycle in carcinogenesis. We further discuss 2 distinct EBV lytic cycle‐targeted therapeutic strategies against EBV‐induced malignancies: one of the strategies involves intentional induction of EBV lytic replication in combination with nucleotide analogues, another ...
