Nucleotide sequences of EBNA1 in TWs of healthy EBV carriers.

<p>The representative nucleotide sequences of EBNA1 (nucleotides 109,241∼109,569) in TWs of healthy EBV carriers are shown. Numbers across the top correspond to the nucleotide positions. The primer sequences (nucleotides 109,241∼109,260 and nucleotides 109,549∼109,569) are underlined. The numbers in the parentheses denote the amount of identical sequences. Mutated nucleotides with respect to P-ala subtype (the B95.8 prototype) are indicated in red. “*” indicated that an A→T mutation at nucleotide 109,434 was detected in only one case of the V-val subtype.
