The EBNA-LP trans-fectants grew out faster under G418 selection than control cells but expression of EBNA-LP made no significant difference to growth rate or saturation density of the resulting established cell lines. When the cells expressing EBNA-LP were allowed to grow to saturation and then diluted in fresh medium they underwent DNA synthesis more rapidly than control cultures., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-73-6-1547
