  1. αDEC-205-EBNA-1 C-terminus of EBNA-1 fused with DEC-205 (a human endocytic receptor), None there is no challenge experiment. i.p. intraperitoneally, DCs dendritic cells. EBV-LPD EBV-associated lymphoproliferative diseases.
  2. Ahumanized mice reconstituted with cells from an EBV-seropositive donor was used in this study.
