Specific latent membrane protein 1 gene sequences in type 1 and type 2 Epstein-Barr virus from nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Hong Kong
4 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
We reported previously that a characteristic Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (EBV-LMP1) gene was associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in Hong Kong. It showed a 30 bp deletion at the carboxyl terminus with specific amino acid substitution Asp at codon 335 with reference to Gly in B95-8 LMP1. This deletion variant Asp335 was present in over 90% of NPC biopsy specimens. The present study...
