Sequence Analysis of the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Latent Membrane Protein-1 Gene and Promoter Region: Identification of Four Variants Among Wild-Type EBV Isolates
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Sequence variations in the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encoded latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1) gene have been described in a Chinese nasopharyngeal carcinoma-derived isolate (CAO), and in viral isolates from various EBV-associated tumors. It has been suggested that these genetic changes, which include loss of a Xho I restriction site (position 169425) and a C-terminal 30-base pair (bp) deletion (position...
