Abstract
The invention provides lymphotrophic herpes virus (preferably EBV) recombinants. The portions of the virus that are responsible for the packaging and lytic phase replication have been isolated and cloned. When used with vectors and hosts containing a segment that controls plasmid replication, they provide a means of carrying foreign genes into B-lymphocytes.
