Roles of EBV genes and proteins in evading the adaptive immune response. EBV miRNAs negatively regulate the transporter complex associated with antigen processing (TAP), affecting antigen presentation by MHC class I. EBV lytic and latency proteins disrupt HLA I and II presentation in host cells, inhibiting the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
