Viral gene expression patterns in different Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) latency types

EBV latency	EBV gene transcription*	Examples
Type 0	EBERs	Resting memory B cells
Type I	EBERs, EBNA1, BARTs	Burkitt's lymphoma
Type II	EBER, EBNA1, LMPs, BARTs	Hodgkin's disease, T/natural killer cell lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, other lympho-epithelioma-like carcinomas (?)
Type III	EBERs, EBNA1, EBNA-LP, EBNA2, EBNA3A, EBNA3B, EBNA3C, LMPs	Transformed B cells (lymphoblastoid cell lines); human immunodeficiency virus patients, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders

^*BARTs, BamH1 A transcripts; EBERs, non-coding RNA; EBNA, EBV nuclear antigen; LMP, genes for latent membrane proteins.
