Loss of P16 Protein Expression and Its Association with Epstein‐Barr Virus LMP‐1 Expression in Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Abstract

Background: Expression of Epstein-Barr virus Latent Member Protein-1 (EBV LMP1) and loss of P16 protein expression are documented in lymphoma, indicating a relationship between them, but this relationship is not clear and sometimes contradictory. Thus, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between the loss of P16 and EBV LMP-1 expression in Jordanian patients diagnosed with lymphoma.
