The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous Herpes virus which causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with such different neoplasms as Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. EBV latently infects its target cells; nevertheless, evidence of viral replication in NPC tumours has be

## RESULTS. In specimens from 107 patients with NPC, EBV was detected by PCR in 2 Department of Pathology, the Johns Hopkins 97 cases (90.7%) and by EBER in situ hybridization in 105 cases (98.1%). In speci-
## Abstract We have investigated the association of immunoescape mechanisms in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lesions with EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) infection and clinical course of the disease. Tumor biopsy specimens obtained from 36 Japanese NPC patients were examined for antigen processing machin
