EBV latently infects its target cells; nevertheless, evidence of viral replication in NPC tumours has be
An EBV variant has been identified in NPC tissues in Taiwan. This EBV variant contains a point mutation in exon I of the LMP I gene. This mutation results in the loss of an Xhol site at nt 169,426, which is present in strain 895-8. In addition, this variant contains a 30-bp deletion in exon 3 of the
