Abstract
Sera from 18 tonsillar carcinoma patients and from 18 matched control subjects were examined for the presence of antibodies to viral capsid antigen (VCA), early antigen (EA) and nuclear antigen (EBNA) of EB virus. Antibodies to all three antigens were found more frequently and in significantly higher titres in the tonsillar carcinoma patients than in control subjects.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
