Abstract
Since Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) was isolated 60 years ago, it has been studied clinically, epidemiologically, immunologically, and molecularly in the ensuing years. These combined studies allow a broad mechanistic understanding of how this ubiquitous human pathogen which infects more than 90% of adults can rarely cause multiple types of lymphomas. We survey these findings to provide a coherent description of its oncogenesis.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
