Changes in Expression Induced by Epstein-Barr Virus LMP1-CTAR1: Potential Role of bcl3

ABSTRACT The Epstein-Barr virus protein latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) has two NF-κB activating domains within its intracellular carboxy terminus (carboxy-terminal activating region 1 [CTAR1] and CTAR2). LMP1-CTAR1 is required for B-lymphocyte transformation, is capable of transforming rodent fibr...
