Variable EBV DNA Load Distributions and Heterogeneous EBV mRNA Expression Patterns in the Circulation of Solid Organ versus Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Figure 1

EBV RNA expression analysis in follow-up PBMC samples from SCT recipients in relation to plasma EBV DNA load kinetics. Viral DNA load in plasma was monitored by quantitative RT-PCR after stem cell transplantation (y-axis). At the indicated time point viral load was determined in plasma as well as in PBMCs. Presence of BARTs, EBNA1, LMP1, and 2 RNA was analysed by RT-PCR in 10e6 PBMCs.
