*

Pathologic samples derived from patients are indicated by numbers; cell lines are indicated by their conventional denomination.

The percentage of BCL-6, CD138/syndecan-1, and LMP-1+ neoplastic cells was assigned to one of the following categories: 0, less than 10%, 10% to 25%, 25% to 50%, 50% to 75%, and greater than 75%.

Tumor cell infection as defined by a combination of in situ hybridization, Southern blot analysis, and PCR studies.
