Abstract

To study variations of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), we analyzed the gp350/220 gene for several cell lines and Japanese wild isolates using direct sequencing. The N-terminal region was highly conserved in all EBVs except for Jijoye/P3HR-1 and a few isolates. The variation of the region coincided with EBV types A and B (also referred to as types 1 and 2) and were, respectively, designated as the types a and b. The type A/a was detected in most Japanese cell lines and wild isolates, and was classified as China1 type with latent membrane protein (LMP) 1 gene. The type B/b was detected in only a few wild isolates with the Med and China2 types. The C-terminus had more diversity than the N-terminus and lacked the divergence between types A/a and B/b. The phylogenetic analyses of the gp350/220 and LMP1 genes may suggest a mode of EBV evolution into types A/a and B/b and then to LMP1 subtypes.
