Expression of Anti- Apoptotic Gene ( BARF1) and Immunomodulatory Gene (BCRF1) For Epstein Barr Virus in Chronic Active EBV Patients

Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus with double-stranded DNA enclosed by proteins. The envelope of the virus has glycoproteins, which are important for attachment and entry into the host cells (B cells and epithelial cells). EBV targets B cells by utilizing their molecular machinery to replicate the viral genome. The virus causes B cells to differentiate into memory B cells, which then can move into the circulatory system, or become latent until a trigger causes reactivation. The transmission of the Epstein Barr virus occurs in several ways, such as deep kissing or food-sharing. Increased levels of viral DNA are found in salivary secretions after the initial infection. Children can be infected after eating food that has already been chewed by an EBV infected individual. The transmission has occurred through stem cell and organ transplantation, as well as blood transfusion. EBV has several associated complications, One dangerous complication is splenic rupture due to infectious mononucleosis. Aim of the Study: To Estimation the immunemodulatory and Oncogenes for Epstein Barr Virus Associated with Viral Tumorigenesis in Chronic Active EBV Patients By Detection of EBV IgG in all samples , Estimation the expression of antiapoptotic gene ( BARF1) and immunomodulatory gene (BCRF1). Result: The study showed there are high significant between the patient group with different inflammation disease in addition infected with virus compare with have not disease When detection genetically about the virus in sample of infected by EBV the presence of genes has been diagnosed BARF1 and BCRF1 in patient's group.
