Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous member of the human herpesvirus group. The virus is the agent of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and shows the peculiar capability of immortalizing human B lymphocytes in vivo and in vitro; EBV is also associated with the development of African Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and lymphoproliferative disorders and lymphomas in individuals with severe congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies.
