## Abstract A nuclear antigen, apparently the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐associated nuclear antigen (EBNA), was detected by anticomplement immunofluorescence (ACIF) tests in adult human peripheral blood leukocytes infected with the QIMR‐WIL strain of EBV. EBNA was not detectable at 24 h but appeared

Abstract
Thin sections of biopsies from five patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma who possessed antibody to early antigen of EB virus were examined for the presence of EB virus nuclear antigen (EBNA) and EB virus DNA by cytological hybridization in situ. Both EBNA and EB virus DNA were found in the tumour cells of three of the patients. The present findings suggest an association between EB virus and supraglottic carcinoma of the larynx.

## Abstract Sera from 30 Swedish patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) collected before or shortly after commencement of therapy and from 24 long‐term survivors (LTS) were tested for antibodies to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) capsid antigens (VCA), to the O and R components of the EBV‐induced ea
Aberrations in the function of alpha-catenin (alpha-cat), the anchoring protein of E-cadherin, are believed to cause dysfunction of the cadherin-catenin complex, leading to disturbed cell-cell adhesion. It has been suggested that expression of alpha-cat in human tumours might be a better indicator o
