Abstract

Quiescent primary B lymphocytes and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines express components of the extracellular response kinase arm of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK(ERK)) Signal transduction pathway and transmit signals through the pathway when exposed to appropriate stimuli. Although the MAPK(ERK) pathway is activated following infection with EBV, MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK1) activity is not required to drive the proliferation of infected cells. However, MEK1 contributes to EBV latency control.
