Abstract:
Vectors containing elements of the Epstein-Barr virus genome are used primarily to maintain cloned DNA inserts as plasmids in mammalian cells. However, Epstein-Bar-virus-based vectors have also been valuable tools in the hands of those studying the life cycle of Epstein-Barr virus. In this article, we discuss those characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus and its life cycle that have been used in vector construction and describe methods that are particularly applicable to the use of Epstein-Barr-virus-based vectors.
