Figure 2 Mechanism of Epstein-Barr virus infection in B lymphocytes.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) envelope glycoproteins gp350/220 bind to B lymphocyte receptors CD21 and/or CD35. Simultaneously, viral glycoprotein gp42 interacts with HLA II on the B cell membrane to trigger the core fusion complex, enabling EBV entry into the B cell.
