Resveratrol inhibits Epstein Barr Virus lytic cycle in Burkitt's lymphoma cells by affecting multiple molecular targets

► Resveratrol inhibits EBV lytic cycle initiation and particles release. ► The effects on EBV replication occur at the post-transcriptional level. ► We report that the polyphenol down regulates protein synthesis, ROS levels and NF-kB and AP-1 activities.
