Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs with a striking geographic incidence and is endemic in parts of southern China, where it is the major cause of cancer death. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is detected in all cells of the majority of NPC cases regardless of geographic origin. A small subset of EBV gen

Different Epstein-Barr-virus(EBV) variants were found to be associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The type-C variant lacks the BamHI site between the BamHI W1\* and I\* regions and the type-f variant has an extra BamHI site in the BamHI F fragment. The BNLF1 gene (which encodes the LMP1 pr
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) open reading frame BHRF1, a homologue of the oncogene bcl-2, was cloned from a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The resulting recombinant BHRF1 fusion protein, with an apparent molecular weight of 35 KD, was used as antig
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) generally occurs in adults, especially in high-prevalence populations such as the Chinese and Eskimos. In Maghrebian populations, young patients affected with this malignancy represent 25% of the total NPC cases. In adults with NPC,
