Based on the pattern of expression of the latency genes, three types of latent infection have been described: i) latency I, that is defined by the expression of EBER and EBNA1; ii) latency II, that is characterized by the expression of EBER, EBNA1, LMP1, LMP2; and iii) latency III, the “growth program”, denoted by the expression of EBER, all EBNAs, LMP1 and LMP231–33. Here, PDLIM7 is linked to disease arising from reactivation of latent virus.
