incidence of infectious mononucleosis at the universities of california and hawaii. | the observed rates of heterophil-positive infectious mononucleosis at the university of california at davis and the university of hawaii at manoa were 1,212 and 37 per 100,000 students per academic year, respectively. the data collected suggest that the extraordinarily low incidence at the university of hawaii may be due to the following factors: (1) underutilization of the student health service by students with infectious mononucleosis; (2) low proportion of epstein-barr virus-seronegative stu ... | 1979 | 229170 |
absence of allogeneic restriction in human t-cell-mediated cytotoxicity to epstein-barr virus-infected target cells. demonstration of an hla-linked control at the effector level. | peripheral t lymphocytes from patients with infectious mononucleosis (im) are sensitized in vivo against the epstein-barr virus (ebv). the expression of hla-a, b, or c molecules at the target cell surface is necessary for the cytotoxic reaction because (a) ebv-positive daudi cells lacking hla-a, b, and c determinants are resistant to anti-ebv t-cell lysis, (b) cytolysis of ebv-positive target cells can be consistently inhibited by anti-hla-a, b, and c and anti-beta 2 microglobulin antibodies. ho ... | 1979 | 229186 |
lymphocyte transformation induced by autologous cells. viii. impaired autologous mixed lymphocyte reactivity in patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. | the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (mlr) is severely impaired in patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. reactivity returned during the course of convalescence. the allogeneic mlr was not impaired in these patients. b cells from patients with infectious mononucleosis do not stimulate autologous t-cell proliferation, and this observation appears to explain the cellular basis of the impaired autologous mlr in infection. two explanations for the b-cell defect were considered: (a) the in ... | 1979 | 229189 |
epstein-barr virus dna is amplified in transformed lymphocytes. | leukocytes isolated from two adult donors who lacked detectable antibodies to antigens associated with epstein-barr virus were exposed to an average of 0.02 to 0.1 dna-containing particles of epstein-barr virus per cell and immediately clones in agarose. within about 30 generations all transformed cell clones contained between 5 and 800 copies of viral dna per cell. only 1 in 10(4) to less than 1 in 10(5) of the cells of each clone release virus, and the frequency of release did not correlate wi ... | 1979 | 229241 |
immunochemical characterization of epstein-barr virus-associated early and late antigens in n-butyrate-treated p3hr-1 cells. | sodium butyrate induces the epstein-barr virus cycle in latently infected p3hr-1 cells with a high efficiency. this fact was utilized for the metabolic labeling of the epstein-barr virus antigens. nonproducer raji cells, lacking both early antigen and viral capsid antigen, were used as controls. immunoprecipitation patterns were compared with 13 anti-epstein-barr virus (viral capsid antigen) - positive and 3 negative sera. sixteen polypeptides were identified as being associated with the lytic e ... | 1979 | 229261 |
[burkitt-like lymphoma: diagnosis, clinical features, and response to chemotherapy (author's transl)]. | the burkitt-like lymphoma is extremely rare. it shows a predominance of presentation in abdominal and pelvic sites and an older median age as compared to the endemic burkitt's lymphoma. both are independent prognostic determinants and reflect a poor prognosis. this might be the reason for the low response rate to cytotoxic treatment. cyclophosphamide is a substantial part of any chemotherapeutic regimen used. serum lactic dehydrogenase (ldh) levels are closely correlated with the extent of tumor ... | 1979 | 229308 |

severe neutropenia in infectious mononucleosis. | mild neutropenia is a well-known concomitant of infectious mononucleosis caused by the epstein-barr virus (ebv) occurring in the first weeks of illness. however, severe neutropenia (less than 200 polymorphonuclear leukocytes per mul) is not generally regarded as a complication of infectious mononucleosis. three patients were seen with severe neutropenia and ebv infection, and an additional eight cases were found in the literature. in two of the latter cases the neutropenia was fatal. in the 11 c ... | 1979 | 229647 |

guillain-barré syndrome associated with epstein-barr virus in a cytomegalovirus-negative patient. | epstein-barr virus and cytomegalovirus have both been associated with guillain-barré syndrome after antibody investigations in several patients. in the teenage female patient in this present report, guillain-barré syndrome following infectious mononucleosis was associated with sero-conversion against epstein-barr virus but not cytomegalovirus. the findings are consistent with the hypothesis that epstein-barr virus might be an etiological agent for the guillain-barré syndrome and that infection w ... | 1979 | 230116 |
eb virus-specific iga in serum of patients with infectious mononucleosis and of healthy people of different ages. | the following sera were tested for eb virus-specific iga: serial sera from 61 cases of infectious mononucleosis (im) and from 195 ebv igg positive healthy students; single sera from each of 1469 persons of different ages, 63 cases of untreated hodgkin's disease, and 22 neonates. ebv specific iga was found in the sera from 88% of cases of im, from 18.5% of ebv igg positive healthy students, and in 13.5% of repeat samples from the same students three years later. the incidence of ebv iga varied fr ... | 1979 | 230203 |
mode of integration of epstein-barr virus genome into host dna in burkitt lymphoma cells. | the ebv dna integrated into the host genome from cell of an african burkitt lymphoma biopsy has been compared to the corresponding fraction of ebv dna from the cell line su-amb-2 which is of american burkitt lymphoma origin. it is shown that while, in the case of the african biopsy, large pieces of ebv dna sequences are integrated into the host dna, much smaller pieces of virus dna are integrated into the dna of the su-amb-2 cells. the possibility that this difference might be related to the fac ... | 1979 | 230297 |

antibodies to epstein-barr virus-determined antigens in normal subjects and in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. | prior studies have shown that patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (ra) have an increased frequency of precipitating antibody against a nuclear antigen, the ra nuclear antigen, detected in human b lymphoblastoid cell lines infected by epstein-barr virus. the present investigations demonstrate that patients with seropositive ra also have specifically elevated titers of antibodies to another, better-characterized epstein-barr virus-associated b cell antigen, the epstein-barr nuclear ant ... | 1979 | 230491 |
human cell lines containing epstein-barr virus but distinct from the common b cell lymphoblastoid lines. | a group of very similar cell lines was established from peripheral blood or bone marrow of 12 patients with a variety of disorders. the cells in these cell lines were uniform and round in shape. they grew as single-cell suspensions or as aggregates of small numbers of cells in stationary culture. the most striking characteristic of these lines was the lack of cells with surface immunoglobulin or with demonstrable immunoglobulin synthesis. this lack of immunoglobulin synthesis and their special g ... | 1979 | 230517 |

establishment of anti-tnp antibody-producing human lymphoid lines by preselection for hapten binding followed by ebv transformation. | human lymphoblastoid cell lines that produce specific antibody against the hapten trinitrophenyl (tnp) have been established by selecting tnp-binding human b lymphocytes by tnp-rosetting and ficoll-isopaque separation, followed by epstein-barr virus (ebv) immortalization. derived lines secreted polyclonal anti-tnp antibodies and contained relatively small numbers of specific rosette- and plaque-forming cells against tnp-rbc. following rerosetting with tnp-rbc, the frequency of rosette-forming ce ... | 1979 | 230581 |
hla-d typing with lymphoblastoid cell lines. vi. rationale and goals of data reduction. | this report documents various characteristics of hla-d typing by mixed leukocyte culture reactions when lymphoblastoid cell lines (lcls) are substituted for peripheral blood lymphocytes as the stimulator cells. it also provides the rationale for designing the computer program described in the subsequent report. in such experiments, each donor to be hla-d typed is stimulated with a panel of 30-50 hla-d homozygous lcls, each defined hla-d allele being represented by several different human homogyg ... | 1979 | 230611 |
epstein-barr virus infection in polytransfused patients with homozygous beta-thalassaemia. | the frequency of epstein-barr virus (ebv) and hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection has been studied in 149 polytransfused thalassaemic patients and in healthy controls. evidence for ebv infection was based on the detection of antibodies to viral capsid antigen (anti-vca) and for hbv infection on the detection of either hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) or hepatitis b surface antibody (anti-hbs). the frequency of anti-vca was not significantly higher in the patients (16.4%) compared to the control ... | 1979 | 230639 |

selective immunodeficiency and malignant lymphoma of the central nervous system. possible relationship to the epstein-barr virus. | this report presents the findings of a study of a 17-year-old male with a selective immunodeficiency to the epstein-barr virus, who died of a malignant lymphoma following clinical infectious mononucleosis. autopsy findings and immunohistochemical techniques demonstrated a malignant lymphoma with b-lymphocyte characteristics which primarily involved the central nervous system (cns). the relationship of the epstein-barr virus to lymphoproliferation is discussed. | 1979 | 230688 |
[comparative study of anti ebv antibodies in non-hodgkin's lymphomams and angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathies (author's transl)]. | antibody titers to epstein-barr virus (ebv)--related antigens (viral capsid antigen : vca; early antigen : ea; and ebv associated nuclear antigen : ebna) were determined in the sera of 86 patients and 150 matched control subjects. the patients belonged to four histological groups : diffuse and nodular non-hodgkin's lymphomas angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathies and apparented syndroms. the incidence of antibodies to other herpes-viruses (cytomégalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and varicella zost ... | 1979 | 230873 |

infectious mononucleosis test performance on cap survey specimens. | the participant performances on 1977 and 1978 infectious mononucleosis survey specimens are tabulated. the various methods utilized gave similar results on negative specimens. commercial reagent kits incorporating differential absorption performed somewhat better on positive specimens than kits without differential absorption. many of the commercial reagent kits performed very poorly on the false postitive specimen. | 1979 | 224693 |
etiology of liver disease in renal-transplant patients. | the etiology of 72 episodes of liver disease that developed in 62 of 162 renal-transplant recipients was evaluated. infection with hepatitis b virus was a minor problem, and none of our patients had evidence of infection with hepatitis a. cytomegalovirus infection was ubiquitous in the population and probably accounted for many episodes of acute liver disease. this agent's role in causing chronic hepatitis is less secure. infections with other viruses including epstein-barr virus, adenovirus, an ... | 1979 | 224742 |
[viruses, virus-like and virus-related structures in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (author's transl)]. | five cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with typically elevated eb-virus-antigen-titer were studied by light- and electron microscopic methods. within the cytoplasm corona viruses in different forms, regular capsid-like particles with a diameter of 60 nm, tubuloreticular aggregates, and pathologic alterations of the membranes of the endoplasmatic reticulum could be found. the nuclei of the tumour cells often showed particles within the nucleoplasm with an average diameter of 100 nm containing a c ... | 1979 | 224851 |
search for human tumour viruses by transfection: uptake of melanoma and epstein-barr virus dna by human cells. | in a model system, consistent transfection of chick embryo fibroblasts (cef) by dna from the xc cell line occurred, with recovery of infectious rous sarcoma virus. the techniques were then applied in attempts to recover possible human tumour viruses. even with various modifications of the xc technique, dna from three human malignant melanoma cell lines failed to infect adult or foetal human fibroblasts, although melanoma dna was taken up into nuclei of target cells. xc dna did not transfect huma ... | 1979 | 224852 |
in vitro transforming activity of epstein-barr virus (ebv). ii. differences between m81 and b95-8 ebv strains. | lymphocytes from 38 human cord blood and 9 adult circulating blood were aliquoted and infected in parallel either with the b95-8 ebv strain (produced by cotton-top marmoset lymphocytes transformed by ebv originating from an infectious mononucleosis line) or with the m81 eb virus (produced by callithrix jacchus marmoset lymphocytes transformed by ebv originating from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) derived line). significant differences were observed in the lymphoblastoid lines obtained and invo ... | 1979 | 224964 |
histopathology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: correlations with epidemiology, survival rates and other biological characteristics. | a total of 363 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) in singapore were classified into squamous cell carcinoma (scc; 73 cases), non-keratinizing carcinoma (nkc; 178 cases) and undifferentiated carcinoma (uc; 172 cases). possible biological differences between these histologic types and between tumors with and without lymphocytic infiltration were investigated by correlations with survival rates and with selected epidemiologic, immunovirologic, and immunogenetic data on the disease. the 5-year ... | 1979 | 225002 |
the structure of the termini of the dna of epstein-barr virus. | we have studied the dna of epstein-barr virus (ebv) isolated from the b95-8 strain of that virus (miller and lipman, 1973). when ebv dna is partially digested with lambda-exonuclease and allowed to reanneal, up to 50% of the full-length molecules circularize. the arrangements of nucleotide sequences containing the terminal repeats identified in this circularization experiment have been determined. those fragments of viral dna generated by digestion with restriction endonucleases which are termin ... | 1979 | 225039 |
the role of viral transformation and cytogenetic changes in viral oncogenesis. | a wide variety of dna viruses and a more restricted family of rna viruses can transform normal cells in vitro. transformation means either immortalization and/or the appearance of certain phenotypic changes. although it has been often inferred that in vitro transformation can be essentially equated with malignant transformation, increasing evidence indicates that the latter, reflected by tumorigenicity in vivo, requires additional cytogenetic changes. the evidence will be reviewed for eb virus-a ... | 1979 | 225148 |
elevated titer of antibodies to simian sarcoma virus envelope antigen (gp70) and normal response to influenza virus in untreated danish hodgkin's patients. | untreated danish hodgkin's disease (hd) patients and paired age- and sex-matched controls were tested for serum antibodies to epstein-barr virus (ebv), six strains of influenza virus and simian sarcoma virus/simian sarcoma-associated virus [ssv(ssav)] antigens. hd sera showed significantly elevated titers against ebv and both increased incidence and mean titer of antibodies to the envelope glycoprotein of ssv(ssav), whereas testing against the influenza viruses revealed no differences between hd ... | 1979 | 225281 |
growth of diploid, epstein-barr virus-carrying human lymphoblastoid cell lines heterotransplanted into nude mice under immunologically privileged conditions. | human epstein-barr virus-carrying lymphoid cell lines which have been classified on the basis of studies on clonality and morphological, chromosomal and functional parameters as lymphoblastoid cell lines (lcl) of presumed non-neoplastic origin were inoculated intracerebrally into nude mice. all eighteen of them grew, killing the host mice within 7 to 25 days, except for 2 which grew more slowly. at autopsy, the brain of the nudes was found to be invaded by infiltrating lymphomas. sixteen of thes ... | 1979 | 225282 |

herpes simplex virus type 1 infection of isogenic epstein-barr virus genome-negative and -positive burkitt's lymphoma-derived cell lines. | the epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome-negative burkitt's lymphoma-derived cell lines bjab and ramos and their in vitro ebv-converted sublines bjab-b1, bjab-a5, bjab-b95-8, and aw-ramos were infected with high multiplicities of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1; 10 to 70 pfu/cell). cultures were monitored for cell growth and hsv-1 dna synthesis. ebv-converted bjab cultures were more permissive for hsv-1 infection than bjab cultures. significant cell killing and hsv-1 dna synthesis were observed du ... | 1979 | 225521 |
dna of epstein-barr virus. v. direct repeats of the ends of epstein-barr virus dna. | previous data indicated that epstein-barr virus dna is terminated at both ends by direct or inverted repeats of from 1 to 12 copies of a 3 x 10(5)-dalton sequence. thus, restriction endonuclease fragments which include either terminus vary in size by 3 x 10(5)-dalton increments (d. given and e. kieff, j. virol. 28:524--542, 1978; s. d. hayward and e. kieff, j. virol. 23:421--429, 1977). furthermore, defined fragments containing either terminus hybridize to each other (given and kieff, j. virol. ... | 1979 | 225546 |
dna of epstein-barr virus. vi. mapping of the internal tandem reiteration. | epstein-barr virus (b95-8) dna consists of short (10 x 10(6)) and long (87 x 10(6)) unique dna sequences joined by 10 tandem reiterations of a 1.85 x 10(6) dna segment. the reiterated sequence contains bami and bglii sites separated by 4 x 10(5). the 4.5 x 10(5) and 14.0 x 10(5) segments generated by cleavage of the reiterated dna with bami and bglii contain sequences which hybridize to each other, suggesting that the internal tandemly reiterated sequence has a direct or inverted repeat within i ... | 1979 | 225556 |

[igg- and iga-antibodies to the epstein-barr virus in the sera of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in cuba]. | sera from 24 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) and from 60 normal subjects were examined for the presence of igg and iga antibody to various antigens associated with epstein-barr virus (ebv). the results indicate that npc in cuba, like in other countries, was accompanied by high titers of ebv-specific igg antibody the levels of which differed markedly from those in normal subjects. serological activity of the patients differed depending on the stage of the illness and its duration. ge ... | 1979 | 225887 |
[levels of humoral antibodies to epstein-barr virus in the population of cuba]. | indirect immunofluorescence was used to study the levels of humoral antibodies to capsid (vca) and early (ea) antigens of epstein-barr virus (ebv) in sera of 322 normal subjects living in the province of habana and varying in ages from several months to 93 years. the results suggest that the population of cuba, like in other countries, is widely infected with ebv, although the pattern of spread of this infection has some specific features. in particular, the infection rate of the pediatric popul ... | 1979 | 225888 |
cells containing epstein--barr nuclear antigen (ebna) in peripheral blood. | the anti-complement immunofluorescence (acif) method was used to demonstrate ebna in b lymphocytes separated from the peripheral blood of patients with infectious mononucleosis (im) or other diseases. in the acute phase of im of epstein-barr virus (ebv) origin, 0.5--1% of the b lymphocytes proved to be positive in 6 of the 8 patients tested. in two of the positive cases the test was repeated 20 and 26 days, respectively, after clinical symptoms had appeared; the result was negative in both cases ... | 1979 | 225932 |

inhibition of the in vitro outgrowth of epstein-barr virus-infected lymphocytes by tg lymphocytes. | human t lymphocytes subpopulations from subjects not acutely infected with ebv have been selected and examined for ability to inhibit the outgrowth of autologous b lymphocytes that have undergone in vitro infection with eb virus. the results show that only tg lymphocytes are inhibitory. tg lymphocytes from subjects who are ebv antibody-negative inhibit as well as those from subjects who have ebv antibody. tg lymphocyte populations, as well as other t cell fractions obtained from neonatal subject ... | 1979 | 226628 |
cellular antiproliferative action exerted by auranofin. | auranofin (af) is a new orally absorbed coordinated gold compound currently undergoing phase i studies for its use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. our investigations with raji lymphoma, hela carcinoma, and ebv-transformed cells indicate af exerts an inhibitory effect on dna, rna, and protein synthesis as assessed by 3h-thymidine, 3h-uridine, and 3h-leucine uptake, respectively. a rapid and persistent dose dependent inhibition of 3h-thymidine uptake was observed at gold concentrations o ... | 1979 | 226702 |
activation of suppressor t cells during epstein-barr-virus-induced infectious mononucleosis. | infectious mononucleosis is caused by the epstein-barr virus (ebv), an unusual human pathogen because it preferentially infects b lymphocytes and consequently activates them to produce immunoglobulins. when cultures of lymphocytes from patients with infectious mononucleosis were stimulated with polyclonal activators, unseparated cells failed to produce immunoglobulins, whereas purified b cells responded normally. cocultures demonstrated profound suppressor t-cell activity in blood from patients ... | 1979 | 226884 |

deoxyribonuclease activity found in epstein--barr virus producing lymphoblastoid cells. | a deoxyribonuclease activity from epstein--barr (eb) virus producer lymphocyte cell lines which is correlated with viral production and which is not present in virus non-producer or negative lymphocyte cell lines has been purified 220-fold with 20% recovery and characterized. this nuclease copurifies through diethylaminoethylcellulose column chromatography with the eb virus induced deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) polymerase in eb virus producer cells which was recently reported by this laboratory, b ... | 1979 | 227441 |
interaction of factors associated with cancer of the nasopharynx. | a retrospective study of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) revealed that smoking, working under poor ventilation, use of nasal balms or oil for nasal and throat troubles, use of herbal drugs, and anti-ebv antibody titer were found statistically associated. the dural interactions of these factors to the risk of npc were presented. except in work conditions with poor ventilation and when herbal drugs are used, all the combinations were synergistic. the synergistic actions were especially remarkable w ... | 1979 | 227565 |
surface markers and size of lymphocytes in human umbilical cord blood stimulated into deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by epstein-barr virus. | we characterized subpopulations of lymphocytes in human umbilical cord blood which are stimulated into deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by epstein-barr virus. lymphocytes were examined simultaneously for deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by autoradiography and for surface markers by rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes or erythrocytes coated with antibody and mouse complement (eac). the subpopulation which incorporated [3h]thymidine after exposure to virus consisted mainly of cells which forme ... | 1979 | 227794 |
relationship between epstein-barr virus genome number, amount of nuclear antigen, and early antigen inducibility in diploid and tetraploid lymphoma cells of related origin. | in a collection of near-diploid and near-tetraploid raji sublines and somatic raji/raji hybrids a linear relationship was found between the number of epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome copies and the relative amount of ebv-determined nuclear antigen per cell. inducibility of the viral cycle by iododeoxyuridine and by p3hr-1 virus superinfection coulb be related to the number of resident ebv genome copies per haploid target cell. the implications of these findings are discussed. | 1979 | 227812 |
epstein-barr virus-specific serum immunoglobulin a as an acute-phase antibody in infectious mononucleosis. | immunoglobulin a (iga) antibodies to epstein-barr virus viral capsid antigen were assayed serially in 19 patients with infectious mononucleosis and in 38 controls. seventy-four percent of infectious mononucleosis patients demonstrated iga antibody, whereas this was found in 13% of controls. this antibody appeared early in infectious mononucleosis and was virtually gone 10 weeks after onset. comparison of iga antibody kinetics was made with igg and igm antibodies to viral capsid antigen, heteroph ... | 1979 | 227922 |
detection of virus and cellular-determined antigens in situ using [125i]protein a and autoradiography. | the present paper describes the use of [125i]protein a, isolated from staphylococcus aureus, in detecting antigen-antibody complexes by autoradiography on single cells. the method is relatively quick, reproducible, potentially more sensitive than immunofluorescence, and should be useful in combination with conventional radioimmuno-assays. we have used it to detect the cellular expression of igm, kappa, lambda, and beta 2-microglobulin, as well as the expression of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associ ... | 1979 | 227963 |

cell surface glycoprotein changes in epstein-barr virus-positive and -negative human hematopoietic cell lines. | it has previously been shown that differential fucose labelling of many normal and homologous tumor cells, followed by proteolytic release and degradation, yields glycopeptides which upon gel filtration shown an increase in fast-eluting glycopeptides for the tumor cells. this technique has now been applied to cell-surface glycoproteins of different human hematopoietic cell lines. these lines included epstein-barr virus (ebv)-carrying lymphoblastoid cell lines of presumed non-neoplastic origin, a ... | 1979 | 220199 |
establishment and characterization of a human null-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line (k-ll-3). | a new cell line (k-ll-3) with exceptional characteristics was derived from a bone-marrow aspirate from a patient with poorly differentiated lymphoblastic lymphoma. the cell line was established and the cells maintained on agar feeders for over 1 year. the morphology and cytochemical staining of the primary tumor and the cell line were remarkably similar. the growth characteristics, chromosome pattern, cell-surface receptors and epstein-barr pattern, cell-surface receptors and epstein-barr virus ... | 1979 | 220200 |
distribution of t- and b-cells and of immunoglobulin-producing cells in tumor tissue of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | various subtypes of 17 european nasopharyngeal carcinomas are examined by immunocytological and immunohistological methods. the t- and b-cells in the inflammatory infiltrate are determined quantitatively and correlated with the amount and type of intracellular immunoglobulin. this data is compared with peripheral t-cell values and the serum anti epstein-barr virus (ebv) titers, and finally with the tumor type and stage. three of the 17 patients had marked local immunoglobulin producing cells, 8 ... | 1979 | 220268 |
primary infection with epstein-barr virus in infants in the united states: clinical and serologic observations. | previous studies in ghana had shown that primary infections with epstein-barr virus in infants under the age of two years remain silent and evoke antibody responses different from those seen in infectious mononucleosis. in order to determine whether or not these observations were limited to africa, 80 american infants presenting with minor infectious complaints were studied serologically; 14 (17.5%) showed evidence of recent or current primary infections with epstein-barr virus. the clinical fea ... | 1979 | 220340 |

nasopharyngeal carcinoma in an alaskan eskimo family: report of three cases. | nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) has been reported to occur in alsaka natives (eskimos, indians, and aleuts) at a rate greater than 15 times the rate for u.s. whites. at least 3 cases of npc have occurred in close relatives of a northern alaskan eskimo family. all 3 patients had poorly differentiated tumors and have died. blood groups, hla antigens, and antibodies to epstein-barr virus (ebv) were studied in the family members. ebv titers were elevated in the 1 npc patient tested and in 1 of 15 oth ... | 1979 | 220446 |
extraction of soluble antigens of epstein-barr virus, herpesvirus salmirl, and herpesvirus ateles with the use of glycine. | for extraction of soluble antigen from cells infected with epstein-barr virus, herpesvirus salmirl, and h. ateles, 0.1 m glycine (ph 9.5) was used. this method yielded increased amounts of the antigen containing much less cell debris. lymphoblastoid cells infected with epstein-barr virus could maintain up to 50% viability after the extraction procedure. these cells could be used again after an appropriate interval in culture. the usefulness of this technique is discussed. | 1979 | 220447 |

genetic mechanisms in cancer predisposition: report of a cancer family. | a family is described in which four children developed cancer affecting different organs:lymphoma, meningeal sarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, and adenocarcinoma of the cecum. since there was only one other case of cancer in previous generations of this family, an hypothesis is put forth to explain this unusual aggregation on the basis of recombination of common genes. it is postulated that each parent carried a different combination of genes which, though not associated with increased cancer predisp ... | 1979 | 217526 |
characterization of cross-reacting antigens on the epstein-barr virus envelope and plasma membranes of producer cells. | a rabbit antiserum has been prepared against the b95-8 transforming strain of ebv. the antiserum has a high virus neutralizing titer (approximately 1:1000) against both the marmoset b95-8 ebv and the human p3hr-1 ebv. the neutralizing antibodies may be absorbed completely with ebv producer cell lines, but not with nonproducer cell lines or producer cell lines treated with phosphonoacetic acid (paa) so as to be nonproducer. after repeated absorption with paa-treated b95-8, the serum remains react ... | 1979 | 217544 |

a comparison of the prognostic value of antibody-dependent lymphocyte cytotoxicity and other ebv antibody assays in chinese patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | antibody titres to ebv-associated antigens in chinese npc patients were analysed according to length of survival after diagnosis and to disease stage. geometric mean titres of adlc antibody were highest in the long-term survivors, whereas vca, ea and ebna antibody titres showed an inverse relationship to survival. high vca, ea and ebna titres were less frequent, and high adlc titres were more frequent in long-term survivors than in intermediate or short-term survivors. the association of geometr ... | 1979 | 216639 |
antibody responses to herpesvirus papio antigens in baboons with lymphoma. | an epstein-barr virus-related herpesvirus, termed herpesvirus papio (hvp), was isolated from baboons (papio hamadryas) at the institute of experimental pathology and therapy, sukhumi, ussr, where there is a continuing outbreak of lymphoma. in the present study sera from diseased baboons and from age- and sex-matched control animals were examined for antibodies to hvp antigens. results showed that animals with lymphoid disease had antibodies to hvp virus capsid, early, soluble, and nuclear antige ... | 1979 | 216640 |
differences in ebv receptor concentration between in vitro ebv-converted lymphoma sublines reflect biological differences between the converting viral substrains. | we have compared the ebv-receptor concentration of two originally ebv-negative human b-cell lymphoma lines, after in vitro conversion with the transforming b95-8 or the cytopathic p3hr-1 eb-viral substrain, respectively, into permanent ebv-carrying sublines. receptors were measured by the quantitative ebv-absorption bioassay of sairenji and hinuma (1973). ebv receptor concentration of all p3hr-1 virus-converted sublines was significantly reduced, in comparison with the b95-8 virus-converted subl ... | 1979 | 216641 |
characterization of thymus-derived lymphocyte subsets in acute epstein-barr virus-induced infectious mononucleosis. | changes in thymus-derived (t) lymphocyte subpopulation numbers were studied in patients with acute and convalescent epstein-barr virus (ebv)-induced infectious mononucleosis (lm). t cell subsets were characterized by the presence of fc receptors for igg (tg), for igm (tm) or by the absence of either receptor (tnon-m, non-g). we found that in acute im, total numbers of t and b lymphocytes were elevated (p less than 0.01). of the t lymphocyte subsets, the total number of tnon-m, non-g lymphocytes ... | 1979 | 216749 |
epstein-barr virus antibodies in sudanese patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a preliminary report. | with the use of an immunofluorescence technique epstein-barr viral capsid antigen antibody titers were determined in the sera from 226 sudanese: 41 with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc), 77 with other head and neck cancers, 21 with malignant lymphomas, 63 with other cancers, 6 with specific granulomas, and 18 normal controls. of the npc patients, 87.8% had titers of 320 or greater and 43.9% had titers of 2,560 or more, whereas none had titers of less than 40. their geometric mean titer (gmt) level ... | 1979 | 216831 |
