Abstract
We show here that in a lymphoblastoid cell line Epstein-Barr virus DNA recombines with the human genome. The genetic exchange involves the oriP region of the virus. A junction between viral and human DNA from this line has been cloned and sequenced. The results indicate that the integration of Epstein-Barr virus DNA involves a region of the human genome which contains internal short repetition. An 800-bp probe has been isolated from the human part of the junction. This probe has been used to show that the human region exists as a duplication in normal cells.Entities:
