Abstract: To study the relation between the expression of EBV membrane antigen (MA) and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α. Taking the KM mouse as the control group, ELISA was applied to observe the level of IL-6 and TNF-α in the mouse. The level of IL-6 in the EBV mice increase compared to the KM mice. The level of TNF-α in the EBV mice went up significantly compared to the KM mice. We proved that expression of EBV membrane antigen (MA) could promote expression of IL-6 and TNF-α.

Key words: Epatein-Barr virus membrane antigen(MA); BLLF1 transgenic mouse; IL-6; TNF-α
