Since EBV-positive human classical Hodgkin lymphomas have type II EBV latency and express a very high level of CD30, we asked if the LMP1-high/EBNA-LP-low P3HR1 lymphoma cells express more CD30, or have a morphology more characteristic of Hodgkin lymphoma-like cells, in comparison to the EBNA-LP-high/LMP1-low P3HR1 virus infected lymphoma cells. This evidence concerns the gene PDLIM7 and lymphoma.
