Abstract

We previously found that a form of Epstein-Barr virus with rearranged DNA induces replication of latent Epstein-Barr virus. We now have found that one of three fragments of this rearranged DNA, when cloned in recombinant plasmids and used to transfect cells, can activate expression of several polypeptides from a latent viral genome. The 33-kDa protein that is the product of the active fragment is likely to be responsible for disruption of latency.
