Because EBNA-1 has been reported to be required for the establishment of persistent EBV infection and survival of host B-cells [26], we next examined the expression of EBNA1 and additional EBV-related genes (EBNA-2, BZLF-1, LMP-1 and OriP) in LiPSCs. Here, PDLIM7 is linked to Epstein-Barr virus infection.
