Result: The C15 tumor line displayed 4 nucleotide mutations, one at position of
165589 (T to C) leading to
V29A conversion, and 3 silent mutations at position of
165677 (G to A),
165944 (C to T), and
166136 (C to T).
Discussion: Only nucleotide mutation on
165589 (T to C) was similar to most of the sequences in our isolates.
Discussion: reported variants of
BARF1 gene on EBV cell lines from EBV-associated
T/NK-cell lymphoma showing change of G to A at the position of 165554, change of
T to C at 165589, and change of
T to C at 165545.
