Abstract excerpt
A DNA fragment containing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) terminal fragment sequence was obtained from a genomic library of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). One of the clones (clone 1510) contained the gene encoding latent membrane protein (LMP). Sequence analysis revealed that this gene had 95% homology with the LMP sequence of the B95-8 strain. Among the sequence variations, there was a change from G to T at nucleotide...
