In the present studies, a series of deletion plasmids encompassing positions bp -552 to +12 of the BZLF1 promoter were constructed and tested for their response to anti-immunoglobulin (anti-Ig), an inducer of the viral lytic cycle, upon transfection into EBV-negative and -positive lymphoid cells.

Region III (-134 to -116) was a positive element that was transactivated by the BZLF1 gene product.</jats:p> Analysis of the BZLF1 promoter of Epstein-Barr virus: identification of an anti-immunoglobulin response sequence Journal of Virology
