LSUHSC COBRE:POLYAMINE METABOLISM IN EBV LYMPHOMAGENESIS

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。Epstein-Barr病毒（EBV）是一种与多种癌症相关的人类肿瘤病毒，包括Burkitt？s淋巴瘤（BL）。此外，EBV感染为受感染的B细胞提供了生长优势，可以导致这些细胞的永生化和转化。因此，这项研究的长期目标是了解EBV导致癌症的机制。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Project 2: Analysis of Polyamine Metabolism in EBV Lymphomagenesis Project PI: Rona S. Scott, Ph.D. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human tumor virus associated with multiple cancers including Burkitt?s lymphoma (BL). Furthermore, EBV infection provides a growth advantage to infected B cells that can lead to immortalization and transformation of these cells. Thus, the long-term goal of this research is to understand the mechanisms by which EBV causes cancer.
