Since the RNAseq analysis shown does not normalize the number of viral transcripts to the number of B cells in each specimen, we also compared the number of EBV LMP1, BHRF1 and EBNA2 transcripts to the number of the B-cell specific PAX5 transcript in each tumor sample (Fig 8A), and performed qPCR analysis on cDNA derived from the same tumors (Fig 8B). This evidence concerns the gene PDLIM7 and neoplasm.
