Primary BL in Malawian children has a very high frequency association, approaching 100%, with the human herpesvirus EBV. A detailed study carried out on viral gene expression in these tumours, using both fresh material and methanol-fixed FNAs, showed, contrary to prediction, that most belong to a variant "class II" latency category, with lytic cycle-related genes also expressed. That is, in addition to EBNA1...
