Abstract excerpt
The latent EBV gene products expressed in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC), are only LMP2A, EBNA-1, BARF-0 and EBERs. To examine the correlation between LMP2A sequence variation in EBVaGC and transformation of the cells, the complete sequence of the LMP2A gene was determined in three cases of Japanese EBVaGC and compared with the prototype B95-8 strain. In addition, the sequences of...
