Sequenced parts of the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP-1) gene and promoter in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) isolates from patients with Hodgkin's disease

Number of cases sequenced
Parts sequenced+30 bp deletion−30 bp deletion−Xho-ITotal
Parts sequenced, the parts of the LMP-1 gene and promoter sequenced in the individual cases. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 stand for primer pairs Pr1/Pr2, LMP1/LMP69051, LMP134/LMP602, LMP8723/LMP8286, and LMP9/LMP11, respectively.
+30 bp deletion, cases with the 30 bp deletion.
−30 bp deletion, cases without the 30 bp deletion.
−Xho-I, cases that had lost the Xho-I restriction site in exon 1 of the LMP-1 gene.
An EBV isolate with a 12 bp deletion was also sequenced. This case is not shown in the table.
