PDLIM7 and infection: During the primary infection, immature B cells are infected with EBV and then express EBV nuclear antigens, such as EBNA1, EBNA2, EBNA3A–EBNA3C, EBNA-LP, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), and LMP2, as well as EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) and microRNA that activate latent B cells and encourage them to proliferate and transform (latency III) [32].
