Two transcription factors, ZEBRA and Rta, switch Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from the latent to the lytic state. While ZEBRA also plays an obligatory role as an activator of replication, it is not known whether Rta is directly required for replication. 5, record 1, English, - Z%20Epstein%2DBarr%20replication%20activator

The discovery of virus-associated proteins in two human tumors has provided strong circumstantial evidence for a link between the Epstein-Barr virus and cancer in man. The majority of virus-infected lymphocytes do not yield progeny virus particles but do express a viral antigen in the cell nucleus called the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA). 4, record 3, English, - Epstein%2DBarr%20nuclear%20antigen
