Abstract:
EB virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous y-herpes virus,which asymptomatically infects greater than 90 % of the world's population.EBV is closely related to development of several kinds of lymphomas that include B-,T-and NK-cell derived.Subsequent studies have proven that EBV gene expression product plays an activating and/or promoting role on lymphomagenesis,and paves the way for EBV associated lymphomas immunotherapy.This review focuses on the EBV associated lymphomas in 2008 WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoma tissues.
