PDLIM7 and Epstein-Barr virus infection: EBV infection of primary B lymphocytes results in permanent growth of these cells, an effect promoted by the full spectrum of EBV-encoded latency proteins, including six EBV nuclear antigens (EBNAs) and three latent membrane proteins (LMP-1, LMP-2A, LMP-2B), the so called latency III program, which can be found in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), in post-transplant lymphoproliferations and in AIDS-associated immunoblastic lymphomas [1,2].
