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

Table 3

RNA profiles in circulation of SOT patients with chronic high EBV loads without PTLD. EBV DNA load and RNA profiles were analysed in PBMCs. JY and B95-8 are EBV infected B cells with latency 3, which served as positive controls for RNA profile.
