| screening nasopharyngeal carcinoma by detection of the latent membrane protein 1 (lmp-1) gene with nasopharyngeal swabs. | nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) is a common head and neck cancer in taiwan. the goals of the current study were to investigate whether a nasopharyngeal swab technique could provide enough dna for polymerase chain reaction (pcr) analysis of the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-derived latent membrane protein 1 (lmp-1) gene and to determine the feasibility and reliability of diagnosing npc by detection of lmp-1 in the nasopharynx. | 2003 | 12673717 |
| serologic markers of epstein-barr virus infection and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in taiwanese men. | it is probable but unproven that epstein-barr virus (ebv) has a role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. we determined whether antibodies against ebv are present before the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | 2001 | 11756578 |
| clonal disease of natural killer large granular lymphocytes in taiwan. | lymphoproliferative diseases of large granular lymphocytes (ldgl) may arise from either cd3+ t cells or cd3- natural killer (nk) cells. ldgl with clonal proliferation of large granular lymphocytes (lgl) is defined as lgl leukaemia. the number of patients with nk-lgl leukaemia reported is limited and the pathogenesis of the disease is not yet clear. from 1991 to 1998 six patients with cytogenetically proved clonal disease of nk-lgl were identified in our institute. all were seropositive for epste ... | 1998 | 9886330 |
