Immunologic studies of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have implicated EBV in undifferentiated and partially differentiated, non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Patients with the well-differentiated, keratinizing form of NPC have EBV serologic patterns similar to those of control populations.
## Abstract ## Background Little has been known about whether Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) could persist in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells by chromosomal integration, and no NPC cell line harboring integrated EBV has been reported. In this study, we explored this issue through isolating EBV‐infe
## Abstract ## Background. The quantity of circulating cell–free Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) DNA in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) managed by radiotherapy has prognostic relevance. We measured the copy number of EBV DNA in patients with early recurrent NPC before and after salvage nasop
## Abstract Sera were collected at intervals of 3 to 8 months over a 4‐ to 5‐year period from more than 103 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) and examined for their spectra and titers of antibodies to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐related antigens. They were titrated for IgG, IgA and IgM ant
