ChIP-Seq of IRF4, BATF, and vIRF3 in BC-3 cells

The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesviruses causes several cancers including Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). Our work reveals that the cellular transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) and basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF), as well as the viral interferon regulatory factor 3 (vIRF3) are critical oncogenic dependencies specific to PEL cell lines. To understand the functions of these transcription factors, we performed ChIP-Seq on these proteins in BC-3 PEL cell line. Our results reveal that these oncogenic factors may cooperate to regulate the expression of the same mRNAs. Overall design: ChIP-Seq of IRF4, BATF, and vIRF3 in BC-3 cells
