| Type I | Memory B cells, EBV + BL and BL-derived cell lines [108] | EBERs, EBNA1 |
| Type II | EBV + NPC, EBV + GC, HL and T-cell lymphoma | EBERs, EBNA1, LMP2A, LMP1 |
| Type III | LCLs; B-cell tumours in immunosuppressed individuals, for example, PTLD, AIDS-related immunoblastic lymphomas | EBERs, EBNAs, LMPs |
