## Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a malignancy associated closely with EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV), is prevalent among Chinese of Southern China origin. Epidemiological studies indicate a high prevalence of EBV in Asia with viral isolates having typical characteristics of the putative viral oncoge
## Abstract Latent membrane protein 1 (LMPβ1) is an EpsteinβBarr virusβencoded oncoprotein expressed in βΌ50β70% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Previous studies have shown that NPCβderived LMPβ1 variants carrying 30 bp deletion and specific mutations in the 3β²Cβterminal region confer high oncoge
A specific variant of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with a 30-bp deletion in the C-terminal region of the LMP1 gene has been found in some EBV-associated malignancies. To better understand the tumorigenic role of this LMP1 variant, we used PCR and sequencing to examine the LMP1 gene in 38 EBVassociated c
