Ablation of STAT3 in the B Cell Compartment Restricts Gammaherpesvirus Latency In Vivo.

Unlabelled: A challenging property of gammaherpesviruses is their ability to establish lifelong persistence. The establishment of latency in B cells is thought to involve active virus engagement of host signaling pathways. Pathogenic effects of these viruses during latency or following reactivation can be devastating to the host.
