In summary, the EBV gene expression pattern in PTCL was found to be mainly of latency II (BART+EBNA1(Qp)+LMP1+LMP2A+BZLF1+), similar to that previously reported in EBV-infected nasopharyngeal epithelial, NK/T-cell, and Hodgkin malignancies; however, fully lytic infection could also be detected in occasional cases. Here, PDLIM7 is linked to infection.
