A gammaherpesvirus uses alternative splicing to regulate its tropism and its sensitivity to neutralization.

Human gammaherpesviruses are associated with the development of lymphomas and epithelial malignancies. The heterogeneity of these tumors reflects the ability of these viruses to route infection to different cell types at various stages of their lifecycle. While the Epstein Barr virus uses gp42--huma...
