## Abstract Promoter hypermethylation of various tumor‐related genes is extremely frequent in Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC). To investigate the significance of the promoter methylation in EBVaGC, we focused on one of the important proteins in the carcinogenesis of t

## Abstract We have investigated the association of immunoescape mechanisms in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lesions with Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) infection and clinical course of the disease. Tumor biopsy specimens obtained from 36 Japanese NPC patients were examined for antigen processing machin
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Loss of E‐cadherin expression is associated with aberrant 5′ CpG island methylation in various tumors. ## METHODS The authors analyzed the methylation status and immunohistochemical expression of E‐cadherin in 142 endometrial tissues, consisting of 21 normal endometria,
The BARF1 gene is located in the BamHI-A fragment of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome, encodes 221 amino acids, and has activity as an oncogene. Several reports have demonstrated that BARF1 is expressed in the tissues of various EBV-associated epithelioid malignancies. However,BARF1 is thought to
