Expression of the Epstein-Barr virus BamHI A fragment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: evidence for a viral protein expressed in vivo

Abstract excerpt

A family of mRNAs that are transcribed rightward through the BamHI A fragment have been detected in C15, a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) which has been passaged in nude mice. Northern (RNA) blot hybridizations indicate that these RNAs are also expressed in three other NPCs which have been established in nude mice and in an NPC obtained at biopsy. Moreover, hybridization in situ detected transcription from BamHI...
