  4. 17. Epstein-Barr virus gene methylation and variation in latency

    Author : Kerstin I Falk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus is a human herpesvirus and approximately 95 % of the adults carry the virus in a latent form. EBV has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human malignancies such as Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms that is involved in control of gene expression in viruses. READ MORE

    Author : Jie-Zhi Zou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I studied 1) The latency situation of Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) in bone marrow transplanted (BMT) patients and healthy virus carriers. 2) The role of EBNA1 and cellular transcriptional factors Oct and Grg/TLE family in EBV latency switch. READ MORE

  6. 19. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein (LMP) 2A

    Author : Fu Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpes virus which infects more than 90% of individuals in the population and is causally implicated in lymphoid and epithelial malignancies. Virus invades oropharyngeal mucosa and establishes latency in memory B lymphocytes. READ MORE

  7. 20. Epstein-Barr virus latency in transplant patients and healthy carriers

    Author : Jie-Zhi Zou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I studied the latency situation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in bone marrow transplanted (BMT) patients and healthy virus carriers. Paper 1: Epstein-Barr virus genomes are found predominantly in lgA-positive B cells in the blood of healthy carriers. READ MORE
