Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activates NKL homeobox gene HLX in DLBCL.
NKL homeobox genes encode developmental transcription factors regulating basic processes in cell differentiation.According to their physiological expression pattern in early hematopoiesis and Butterfly Knives lymphopoiesis, particular members of this homeobox gene subclass constitute an NKL-code.B-cell specific NKL-code genes generate a regulatory
