Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 Sequences in Endemic and Sporadic Burkitt’s Lymphoma Reflect Virus Strains Prevalent in Different Geographic Areas
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen EBNA1 is the only viral protein detectably expressed in virus genome-positive Burkitt's lymphoma (BL); recent work has suggested that viral strains with particular EBNA1 sequence changes are preferentially associated with this tumor and that, within a patient, the tumor-associated variant may have arisen de novo as a rare mutant of the dominant preexisting EBV strain...
