Transcription profiling by array of human lymphocyte cells lines generated with EBNA3-knockout Epstein-Barr Viruses

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is able to drive the transformation of B-cells, resulting in the generation of lymphocyte cell lines (LCLs) in vitro. EBV nuclear proteins EBNA3A and EBNA3C are necessary for efficient transformation, while EBNA3B is dispensable. We describe a transcriptome analysis of LCLs generated with EBNA3B knockout (3BKO) EBV (made in the B95-8 BAC generated by Delecluse and Hammerschmidt) and comparable LCLs made with the parental B95-8 BAC (wtBAC).
Peripheral blood cells from three donors were infected with two 3BKO virus preparations, and two wtBAC virus preps. LCLs were grown out, and RNA extracted after 3-6 weeks (depending how long the outgrowth took). Total RNA was ribominus treated and then labelled and hybridised to Affymetrix human exon 1.0ST microarrays.
