  1. NOTE. ROC analysis is made by using the data from the Cantonese panel, including sera from healthy subjects (n = 542) and NPC patients (n = 547) detected by xMAP technology. AUC, area under ROC curve; FI, fluorescence intensity; CI, confidence interval; EA-D, early antigen-diffused; EBNA1, Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1.
