Chromatin Structure of Epstein-Barr Virus Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

The episomal copies of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA are in a chromatin structure in the lymphoblastoid cell line B95-8. Nucleosomes on EBV DNA have the same spacing as those in cellular chromatin. Some of the EBV DNA is not in nucleosomes; this probably corresponds to DNA which is being packaged. Several DNase hypersensitive sites have been mapped on the EBV genome and patterns of CpG methylation are examined.
