On the other side, EBV infection-induced RIG-I expression is reported by several studies in EBV-positive Burkitt’s lymphoma or classical Hodgkin lymphoma cells (20, 32), while in NPC cells and specimens from NPC patients, the transcription level of RIG-I was associated with EBER transcription in a dose-dependent manner. This evidence concerns the gene RIGI and Epstein-Barr virus infection.
