Abstract

The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of the Epstein–Barr virus has transforming properties in rodent fibroblasts and is expressed in most of the cancers associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection including posttransplant lymphomas, Hodgkin’s disease, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and AIDS-related lymphomas. In this study, three lineages of LMP1 transgenic mice were established with LMP1 expressed under the control of the Ig heavy chain promoter and enhancer. Lymphoma developed in all three lineages, and the incidence of lymphoma increased significantly with age with lymphomas developing in 42% of transgenic mice over 18 months. The expression of LMP1 was detected at high levels in the lymphoma tissues but only at trace levels in normal lymphoid tissues. Gene rearrangement of the Ig heavy chain indicated monoclonality or oligoclonality in all lymphomas, some of the lymphoid hyperplastic spleens, and some histologically normal spleens. These data reveal that LMP1, without the expression of other EBV genes, is oncogenic in vivo and indicate that LMP1 is a major contributing factor to the development of EBV-associated lymphomas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
