Some Recent Trends in Studies of Human Lymphoid Cells: B-Cells, Epstein-Barr Virus, and Transformation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Haematology and Blood Transfusion / Hämatologie und Bluttransfusion ((HAEMATOLOGY,volume 26))

Abstract

In this brief review we will discuss some recent trends in work on regulatory mechanisms involved in the selective expression of differentiated markers in human B-cell lines as well as the types of controls involved in the expression and function of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated markers in human cells. A problem of special interest in this connection is the relation of the expression of EBV functions to the expression of “transformation”.
