Nearly 30 years ago, Fingeroth and her colleagues discovered that this attachment occurs via the CD21 protein, which until now was the only known B cell attachment receptor for EBV. The recent ...

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a variety of lymphoid cancers, including Burkitt's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. In some patients who receive immunosuppressive treatment after ...

class II on B cells leading to fusion by gB. In addition to these glycoproteins EBV also has gp350, which is the most abundant surface protein and aids in attachment through interactions with CD21 on ...

B-cell co-receptors, including CD19–CD21 and FcγRII influence the association of the BCR with rafts, which might represent a new mechanism for co-receptor function. Epstein–Barr-virus-encoded ...

For example, the rhesus monkey virus and EBV share similar sequences and genetic organization, and they maintain persistent infection in the oropharynx and in B cells. 8 Thus, EBV probably evolved ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is known to convert resting B lymphocytes into immortal cells that continuously multiply, leading to posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD).

About 90% of adults worldwide are infected with Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV. The virus infects B cells (the white blood cells that make antibodies) and can contribute to B-cell-derived cancers ...

Leukemia cells containing Epstein-Barr Virus CDC, PAUL M. FEORINO When Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes cancer, it usually does so by hijacking two cellular mechanisms. First, the virus deregulates MYC ...
