In experimental B-cell infections, Epstein-Barr virus induced sustained expression of V(D)J recombinase-activating genes RAG1 and RAG2, whose aberrant activity has been implicated in chromosomal translocations in B-cell neoplasms. In cell lines in which RAG1 and RAG2 were detected, virus integrated into cellular DNA rather than assumed the configuration of extrachromosomal episomes. Expression of the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 in transient transfection assays was sufficient to induce both recombinase-activating genes.
在实验性B细胞感染中,爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒诱导V(D)J重组酶激活基因RAG1和RAG2持续表达,其异常活性与B细胞肿瘤中的染色体易位有关。在检测到RAG1和RAG2的细胞系中,病毒整合到细胞DNA中,而不是呈染色体外附加体的构型。在瞬时转染试验中,爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒核抗原1的表达足以诱导这两种重组酶激活基因。
