Shading identifies donors from whom isolates have been sequenced from position 169835 (−320 compared to transcription start of LMP-1) to position 168125 (downstream to the LMP-1 stop codon). In the rest of the cases a smaller part of the promoter and only selected parts of the gene were sequenced (see Materials and Methods). LCL no. 1 to 11: LCLs from normal donors; 12 to 20: LCLs from pretransplant patients; 21 to 62: LCLs from posttransplant patients; *: Detection of the Xho I restriction site (C↓TCGAG: 169428-169423) on the EBV genome (according to Baer et al33 ); †: The sequencing result at the Xho I restriction site (CTCGAG: 169428-169423); underlining indicates mutations compared to B95.8; ‡: Presence or absence of the 30-bp deletion (position: 168287-168256); ρ: Number of 33-bp repeats in the repeat region of the LMP-1 gene (position: 168555-168400), 3+ indicates a repeat region identical to B95.8; ∥, ¶, #: indicate LCLs established from the same individual from serial blood samples; **: This EBV isolate was EBV subtype B, the rest were subtype A. ††Additional single base mutations detected and eventual amino acid changes.
