Abstract excerpt
The extent of nucleotide sequence microheterogeneity varies among subgenomic regions of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We examined, in EBV-carrying lymphoid cell lines, the extent of polymorphism in EBV DNA fragments amplified from the BamHI E, K, N and Z regions, and then investigated the diversity of the more hypervariable regions in tissues and body fluids. In cell lines, sequence dissimilarities in a...
