title: Identification of a naturally occurring recombinant Epstein-Barr virus isolate from New Guinea that encodes both type 1 and type 2 nuclear antigen sequences.
abstract: In this report we describe an Epstein-Barr virus isolate, derived from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of a healthy adult from Papua New Guinea, that is a recombinant of the two major Epstein-Barr virus types, encoding type 1 Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) sequences, and type 2 EBNA3, EBNA4, and EBNA6 sequences.
