Survivin Messenger RNA Levels in Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive Patients With Leukemic Low-Grade B-Cell Lymphomas Expressing the Latent Membrane Protein 1: Evidence of Apoptotic Function?

Our results imply that in patients with non-EBV-related leukemic low-grade B-cell lymphoma, LMP1 expression is possibly correlated to apoptosis, as indicated by the lower survivin mRNA levels in LMP1+ patients.
