In order to clarify the EBV genes responsible for the diseases, we introduced the plasmid coding sequences of EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) and\/or latent membrane protein (LMP) 1 into human T-lymphocyte virus-I-negative human T-cell lines using a gene expression vector harboring EBV nuclear antigen 1, established the G418-resistant transformants of five T-cell lines, and quantitatively examined the expression of EBERs and LMP1 using real-time reverse transcriptase\u2013polymerase chain reaction. The expression levels of EBERs in T-cell transformants with EBER DNA paralleled those in EBV-positive human T- and NK-cell lines, SNTK cells. The expression of LMP1 mRNA varied in SNTK cells and in human T-cell transformants, and the expression of LMP1 mRNA in T-cell lines expressing both EBERs and LMP1 was much lower than that in the same cell line expressing LMP1 mRNA alone. The currently employed gene expression system and currently obtained transformants may be useful for the analyses of the pathophysiology of CAEBV and EBV-positive T\/NK-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms11112624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]],"date-time":"2023-10-25T04:14:47Z","timestamp":1698207287000},"page":"2624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Establishment of Epstein\u2013Barr Virus (EBV) Latent Gene-Expressing T-Cell Lines with an Expression Vector Harboring EBV Nuclear Antigen 1"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3200-9304","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Kanno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Shinshu University School of Medicine, 3-1-1 Asahi, Matsumoto 390-8621, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomohiro","family":"Osada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Shinshu University School of Medicine, 3-1-1 Asahi, Matsumoto 390-8621, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0683-1513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayako","family":"Tateishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Shinshu University School of Medicine, 3-1-1 Asahi, Matsumoto 390-8621, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"280","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V98.2.280","article-title":"Clinical and virologic characteristics of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection","volume":"98","author":"Kimura","year":"2001","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"531","DOI":"10.1086\/427239","article-title":"Differences between T cell-type and natural killer cell-type chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection","volume":"191","author":"Kimura","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
