Abstract
Our understanding of the host response to gammaherpesviruses comes lar gely from studies on Epstein-Barr virus. A recent addition to this fam ily is murine herpesvirus-68 which, like Epstein-Barr virus, establish es a latent infection in B lymphocytes and is associated with lymphopr oliferative disease. This virus provides a unique opportunity to explo re the relationship between gammaherpesviruses and the immune system.
