Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded RNAs (EBERs) are the most abundant viral transcripts in latently EBV-infected cells. Recently, we found that EBERs play a key role in the maintenance of malignant phenotypes of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cells. They confer clonability in soft agarose, tumorigenicity in

EpsteinโBarr virus is a herpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis, carcinomas and immunoproliferative disease. Its genome encodes 86 proteins, which provided targets for a structural genomics project. After updating the annotation of the genome, 23 open reading frames were chosen for expressi

## Abstract Expression of different panels of latent gene transcripts is controlled by usage of three distinct EpsteinโBarr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen (EBNA) promoters (Wp, Cp, and Qp). EBVโassociated hemophagocytic syndrome, which is often a fatal disease and generally occurs after primary EBV in
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has recently been identified in the tumor cells of patients with gastric carcinoma. We tested pre-morbid serum samples from a carefully monitored cohort of Japanese men in order to investigate the possibility that patients with EBV-associated gastric cancer represent a sub-s
