Values corresponding to ≥ 50% increased apoptosis in EBV/EBNA1 positive cells are underlined

aApoptosis was measured by staining with PI/Annexin-V and flow cytometry analysis. The mean ± SD positive cells in two independent experiments is shown

bEBV carriage was in all cases confirmed by detection of EBNA1

cThe cells were treated with 10 μM TH588 for 48 h

dThe cells were treated with 5 μM S-Crizotinib for 48 h

eEBNA1 expression was confirmed by western blot analysis

f Fold change was calculated as the ratio between the mean % apoptotic cells in control and treated cells
