Objective: To explore expression of EBV-LMPI and ZEBRA in B cell in SLE patients. Methods: Labeled by immunofluoresence indirectly, determined by flow cytometry. Results: Expression of EBV-LMP1 and ZEBRA in SLE patients was higher than normal control P 0.05) . Conclusion: EBV may be induce SLE occurrence, reproduce of EBV can promote the development of SLE. Detection expression of EBVLMP1 and ZEBRA can use as a predicator of SLE activity.
