Epstein-Barr virus vectors for gene expression and transfer.
Vectors based on components of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have found increasingly wide applications in biotechnology. Three areas of recent advancement comprise the use of EBV vectors to improve the convenience of gene expression systems, the development of EBV vectors for gene transfer in gene therapy, and the use of EBV components to generate large vectors carrying sizable regions of genomic DNA.
