Relationship Between Epstein–Barr Virus LMP-1 and BRAF-V600E Mutant Protein Expression in Ameloblastoma

Background: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) enters the human body via saliva. EBV-encoded latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1) activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. MAPK signaling pathway activation due to the BRAF-V600E mutation is widely known as a major event in...
