We examined Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific antibodies in serum samples from 64 and 59 patients with EBV-positive and -negative gastric carcinomas, respectively, and 73 healthy controls using immunofluorescence assays. EBV capsid antigen (VCA) IgG and EBV-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA) IgG were
## Abstract It is still unknown what kinds of roles EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) infection that are highly specific to salivary gland lymphoepithelial carcinomas (LECs) play in their tumorigenesis. To clarify the significance of EBV in LECs, we paid particular attention to the __LMP1__ gene, which is r
## BACKGROUND. Gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS), known to have a more favorable prognosis than ordinary gastric carcinoma, has been suggested to be closely associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (ERV). However, there are many clinicopathologic problems that remain unsolved.
## Abstract Seven strains of EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) are defined based on Cβterminal sequence variations of the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1). Some strains, especially those with a 30βbp deletion, are thought to be related to tumorigenic activity and geographical localization. The aims of the s
