Target Details for EBV

Target: EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV))

Alternative Name: Epstein Barr Virus / EBV

Target Type: Virus

Background: EBV is a human herpesvirus, which is associated with conditions such as Hodgkins disease and Burkitts Lymphoma and is the causative agent in mononucleosis in adolescents. EBV latently infects B lymphocytes. Infected B cells express EBV nuclear antigens and latent proteins LMP1, LMP2A and LMP2B. LMP2A forms aggregates in the plasma membranes of B lymphocytes, where it functions as a negative regulator of the Src and Syk protein tyrosine kinases. Studies show that LMP2A blocks B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction in EBV immortalized B cells in vitro and may play an important role in maintaining a latent EBV infection within the peripheral blood B cells of infected individuals.Synonyms: HHV-4, HHV4
