abstract：BACKGROUND:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with 20-40% of Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) cases. EBV-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is a well-known oncogenic protein and two C-terminal deletion variants, del30-LMP1 and del69-LMP1, have been described in animal models to be more tumorigenic than the wild-type f...
