In this book, outstanding researchers from the US and Japan review recent progress in Epstein-Barr virus research. Most people carry EBV in memory B-cells in a latent stage. Many malignancies such as T/NK cell lymphoma, AIDS-associated B-cell lymphoma, gastric carcinoma and Hodgkin's disease have been causally linked to EBV. The development of molecular biology technique has allowed us to study the roles of individual EBV genes that act in the maintenance and disruption of EBV latency.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) , a human herpesvirus, originally received much attention because of its associations with Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. EBV is ubiquiteous in the human population and most people carry the virus in memory B-cells in a latent stage. In this book, outstandig researchers from the US and Japan review recent progress in EBV research.
