Tumor cells from NPC patients are regularly and latently infected with EBV. To examine whether the virus serves as target for immune intervention of the cancer, we determined levels of EBV-specific CTLp in peripheral blood from NPC patients, long-term survivors of the cancer and healthy subjects.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an inhibitory cytokine produced by various cell types. It exhibits strong sequence homology to BCRF-1 (viral IL-10, vIL-10), an open reading frame in the Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV) genome. Using in situ hybridization (ISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemi
The level of Epstein-Barr (EB) virus-specific cytotoxic T cell responsiveness was measured in 21 patients with active, progressive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A significant number (8 out of 20) of EB virus sero-positive patients showed a markedly impaired responsiveness when compared with a control g
