Epstein-Barr virus activation in Raji cells by extracts of preserved food from high risk areas for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activation of latent infection and traditional life styles, especially food habits, have been strongly associated with an increased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in humans. On the basis of anthropological studies in Tunisia, southern China and Greenland, extracts of...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activation of latent infection and traditional life styles, especially food habits, have been strongly associated with an increased risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in humans.
