Complete Nucleotide Sequence of the Rhesus Lymphocryptovirus: Genetic Validation for an Epstein-Barr Virus Animal Model

Department of Medicine, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115

Received 28 June 2001/ Accepted 21 September 2001

We sequenced the rhesus lymphocryptovirus (LCV) genome in order to determine its genetic similarity to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The rhesus LCV encodes a repertoire identical to that of EBV, with 80 open reading frames, including cellular interleukin-10, bcl-2, and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor homologues and an equivalent set of viral glycoproteins. The highly conserved rhesus LCV gene repertoire provides a unique animal model for the study of EBV pathogenesis.
