"produce EBV" might be wrong!

In the first paragraph, the sentence "The cell lines produce an unusual strain of Epstein-Barr virus which will both transform cord blood lymphocytes and induce early antigens in Raji cells." can be understood in the way that Raji cells do produce infectious EBV. Is there any evidence (reference) for that claim? AFAIK Raji contains latent EBV (and are therefore considered Biosafety Level 2 ^[1]), but with mutations that prevent lytic replication.^[2] Moritz2357 (talk) 15:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
