MUC5AC and infection: In agreement with our findings by scRNA-seq, EBV transcripts were detected in basal (p63+), mucosecretory (MUC5AC+) and ciliated (β-IV-tubulin+) cells [13], but we also find that latent and lytic cells can be detected in the pseudostratified cell types with suprabasal cells being the most permissive to lytic infection.
