Dose-Dependent Outcome of EBV Infection of Humanized Mice Based on Green Raji Unit (GRU) Doses

Humanized mouse models are used as comprehensive small-animal models of EBV infection. Previously, infectious doses of EBV used in vivo have been determined mainly on the basis of TD<sub>50</sub> (50% transforming dose), which is a time-consuming process. Here, we determined infectious d...
