Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1)—the one EBV antigen that is expressed in all EBV-associated malignancies—has long been thought to go undetected by the cell-mediated immune system. However, recent studies show that EBNA1 can be presented to both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, making it a potential new target for immunotherapy of EBV-related cancers.
