HLA-A*0201 & B2M & EBV LMP1 (YLLEMLWRL)

Epstein-Bar Virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, belongs to gamma herpes virus family and is a very common human virus worldwide. EBV causes infectious mononucleosis (IM) and also associates to some specific types of cancers such as Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) and gastric carcinoma (GC). Glycoprotein B (gB) plays an important role in viral entry by binding with αvβ6/αvβ8 integrins to trigger the membrane fusion and entry process of epithelial cells, which makes it become an great target for EBV research.

The Human HLA-A*0201 EBV LMP1 (YLLEMLWRL) complex protein is a complex of HLA-A*0201 of the MHC Class I, B2M and YLLEMLWRL peptide of the EBV LMP1.
