Ciclo de infección del EBV

El virus de Epstein-Barr puede infectar tanto a los linfocitos B como a las células epiteliales orofaríngeas. El EBV entra en los linfocitos B uniéndose al receptor celular CD21, lo que permite la fusión de la envoltura viral con la membrana celular. El ciclo lítico da lugar a la producción de viriones infecciosos tanto en los linfocitos B como en las células epiteliales orofaríngeas. En los linfocitos B, la replicación lítica normalmente solo tiene lugar después de la reactivación tras la latencia, mientras que la replicación lítica en las células epiteliales orofaríngeas suele seguir directamente a la entrada viral. Durante la replicación lítica, la ADN polimerasa viral se encarga de sintetizar el genoma viral. Esto contrasta con la latencia, en la que la ADN polimerasa de la célula huésped copia el genoma viral. Sin embargo, durante la latencia no hay producción de viriones, ya que solamente se expresa una parte de los genes del EBV.
