Figure 5. Ascorbic acid does not induce EBV lytic reactivation.
Cells were treated with 2 mM ascorbic acid for 8, 24, or 48 hr, and lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with an anti-BZLF-1 antibody. Arrow indicates BZLF-1 protein. Cell lysate from 293T cells transfected with a BZLF-1 plasmid was used as a positive control.
