Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded RNAs (EBERs) are the most abundant viral transcripts in latently EBV-infected cells. Recently, we found that EBERs play a key role in the maintenance of malignant phenotypes of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cells. They confer clonability in soft agarose, tumorigenicity in
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been associated with various extracutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases and it has been suggested that EBV may have a similar aetiological role in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In this study, in situ hybridization was used to investigate the presence of EBV encoded RNAs (E
