EBV is an oncogenic human herpesvirus that has the ability to infect and transform B cells latently in vitro. However, the virus also establishes a lifetime, benign, persistent latent infection in resting memory B cells in vivo, where the virus is quiescent (i.e., expresses none of the known latent proteins). The virus encodes ∼40 micro-RNAs (miRNAs), most of which are transcribed from the BamH1 fragment A rightward transcript (BART) region of the virus. We have shown previously that a subset of ...[more]
