Based on the results discussed before and illustrated in Figures 2 and 7, showing that the weaker induction of LMP-1 in Daudi and the inability to maintain long-term growth in the EREB2.5 assay by type 2 EBNA-2 is not affected by the type of EBNA-LP present, we can infer that the gene-expression pattern (Figure 3) and the growth phenotype (Figure S3) induced by type 2 EBNA-2-expressing BAC virus in the infection experiments is not affected by the absence of a type 2 EBNA-LP. This evidence concerns the gene PDLIM7 and infection.
