use of epstein-barr virus-transformed b cell lines for the generation of immunoglobulin-producing human b cell hybridomas.hgprtase-deficient ebv-transformed b cell lines were shown to be effective fusion partners with mitogen-activated human b cells for the construction of ig-producing human b cell hybridomas. in a series of experiments using these lines and b cells from several tissue sources, approximatley 20% of the cultures plated were consistently positive for growth after hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine selection and approximatley 30% of these synthesized significant new ig. a marked increase in ig secreti ...19826286839
production of hepatitis b e antibody in epstein-barr virus-induced b lymphocyte cell lines.b lymphocytes separated from anti-hbe-positive donors were established as lymphoblastoid cell lines by infection with ebv, but anti-hbe in the culture supernatant from such lymphoblastoid cell lines could not be detected. the lymphoblastoid cell lines were rosetted with hbe antigen-coupled srbc to prepare cells for the production of specific anti-hbe. antibody activity in the culture supernatant against rosette forming cells was detected by ria, id, and r-phi tests during the first 1 to 4 wk, bu ...19826286863
organization of the epstein-barr virus dna molecule. ii. fine mapping of the boundaries of the internal repeat cluster of b95-8 and identification of additional small tandem repeats adjacent to the hr-1 deletion.we used cloned bamhi fragments from epstein-barr virus strain b95-8 [ebv(b95-8)]dna to obtain detailed restriction maps of the region of the genome adjacent to the large internal repeat cluster. these maps together with the results of hybridization experiments using a 3.1-kilobase repeat probe defined more precisely the location of the injection between the internal repeat cluster and the flanking unique-sequence dna. on one side (ul), the repeat sequences extended 600 +/- 80 base pairs (bp) int ...19826286998
filamentous structures associated with epstein-barr virus-infected cells.after the onset of epstein-barr virus dna and protein synthesis 10 h after superinfection of raji cells (a cell line containing epstein-barr virus dna but not producing virus), filamentous structures 25 nm in diameter and 0.2 to 1.4 micrometers in length could be detected in the cell cytoplasm by electron microscopy. these structures banded in metrizamide gradients with viral dna and proteins, but at a density different from that of virions or nucleocapsids. these filaments, enriched in a 155,00 ...19826287004
identification and isolation of the main component (gp350-gp220) of epstein-barr virus responsible for generating neutralizing antibodies in vivo.the majority of hybridomas we have characterized against epstein-barr virions react with the major glycoproteins gp350 and gp220 (gp350/220). one of these antibodies, id4c-1, neutralizes virus infection in vitro. the presence of gp350/220 on the viral envelope could be confirmed directly by immunoelectron microscopy. we used lectin affinity (ricin) and immunoaffinity (id4c-1) to purify gp350/220 and show that this material is able to induce potent virus-neutralizing antibodies. absorption of fou ...19826287039
persistence of transforming and nontransforming epstein-barr virus in high passages of p3hr-1 cell lines.at least three laboratories have reported that the p3hr-1 line, which had originally produced transforming epstein-barr virus (ebv), now produces only the nontransforming variant. studies to determine whether these findings were universal or a consequence of specific cell lines or culture conditions were undertaken in p3hr-1 cultures of identical hla types from five sources. all of the ebv preparations derived from cell lines cultured at 32, 34, and 35 degrees c transformed cord blood lymphocyte ...19826287082

epstein-barr virus induction by a serum factor. characterization of the purified factor and the mechanism of its activation.purified epstein-barr virus-inducing factor shows all the properties previously described for crude serum, i.e. inducing activity, cooperative activity with the inducers 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate, 5'-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, n-butyric acid, anti-igm, and the need to be activated by ph shock. a small subpopulation of untreated factor molecules is fully active, however. the factor is a protein that is characterized by considerable heat resistance and sensitivity to reducing agents. it doe ...19826288683
detection of immunoglobulin m antibody to epstein-barr virus by use of an enzyme-labeled antigen.immunoglobulin m (igm) antibodies to epstein-barr virus were detected by using microtiter plates coated with anti-mu-chain antiserum and enzyme-labeled epstein-barr virus antigen. optimum conditions for labeling were determined. the addition of unlabeled control antigen to the enzyme-labeled antigen was effective in reducing background reactions. rheumatoid factor no longer interfered. blocking of specific igm antibody by igg also was no longer observed. four different methods for the detection ...19826288765
alteration of in vitro immunoglobulin secretion by amosite asbestos.we investigated the in vitro effects of amosite asbestos on immunoglobulin (ig) secretion by human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (mnl). concentrations of 100 to 300 micrograms/ml of amosite asbestos reduced the number of ig-secreting cells recovered from 6-day cultures of unstimulated mnl or mnl stimulated with epstein barr virus. by contrast, the ig secretory response to pokeweed mitogen was enhanced by 10 to 100 micrograms/ml concentrations of amosite asbestos; however, amosite asbes ...19826288799
selective induction of autoantibody secretion in human bone marrow by epstein barr virus.the bone marrow is an important site for b lymphocyte differentiation and antibody synthesis in animal and man. however, few experiments have examined directly its immunologic functions in humans. in the present experiments, we have induced bone marrow b lymphocytes from human donors with degenerative arthritis of varying ages to secrete two autoantibodies, igm and anti-igg (rheumatoid factor) and igm anti-human thyroglobulin (tg), by stimulation with the polyclonal b cell activator epstein barr ...19826288800
the biology and chemistry of epstein-barr virus.epstein-barr virus (ebv) is the human prototype of a family of closely related herpesviruses of old world primates. these agents probably evolved and spread among the old world primates since the divergence of apes from monkeys about 30 million years ago. although the dnas of the ebv family have no sequence homology to other herpesviruses, there are some features in common with other herpesviral genomes. ebv dna is unusual in having five tandem direct repeat elements which divide the genome into ...19826288806
improved test for igm antibody to epstein-barr virus using an absorption step with staphylococcus aureus.the determination of levels of igm antibody to epstein-barr virus (ebv) capsid antigen was improved by absorbing unfractionated test serum with staphylococcus aureus cells containing protein a. nonspecific background fluorescence was significantly decreased, thus facilitating the reading of slides and the detection of specific fluorescent reactions in serum with low levels of this igm antibody. moreover, the inclusion of the absorption step eliminated false-positive reactions caused by the prese ...19826288807

two large virion envelope glycoproteins mediate epstein-barr virus binding to receptor-positive cells.the four major epstein-barr virion envelope components were separated by column chromatography and reconstituted into artificial liposomes. these liposomes were tested for their ability to bind selectively to epstein-barr virus receptor-positive cells. only when the two high-molecular-weight glycoproteins, ve1 and ve2, were present together was a stable binding complex formed. the addition of the other virion envelope components did not increase the levels of binding. this binding was inhibited ...19826283120
epstein-barr virus-lymphoid cell interactions. iii. effect of concanavalin a and saccharides on epstein-barr virus penetration.to study some aspects of epstein-barr virus (ebv) penetration into target cells, the effect of concanavalin a (cona) and various saccharides on virus infectivity and cell susceptibility to ebv infection was examined. cona treatment of the target cells, ebv, or ebv-cell complexes was found to inhibit virus antigen expression. several control experiments with alpha-d-methyl-mannoside elution of cona, removal of nonfused ebv particles from the cell surface by trypsin treatment, and addition of cona ...19826283164
epstein-barr virus increases the proliferative response and the generation of suppressor and cytotoxic t-cell functions in autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction.epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection of stimulator cells significantly increased the proliferative response of t cells in the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (amlr). the addition of a monoclonal anti-hla-dr antibody to amlr cultures in which either ebv-infected or non-infected non-t cells were used as stimulator cells strongly inhibited the proliferative response irrespective of the presence of ebv. it is concluded that ebv does not by itself activate the responding cells and that hla-dr anti ...19826280268
morphologic observations of contact-induced lysis of ebv-infected b lymphocytes by autologous hand mirror t cells.to study the possible immunologic role of hand mirror lymphocytes (hml) in the control of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-infected b lymphocytes in patients with infectious mononucleosis (im), we studied the in vitro interactions of these cells by time-lapse video light microscopy. peripheral blood t lymphocytes isolated from three patients in the early recovery phase of im were mixed with their autologous ebv-infected b cells. motile lymphocytes with their characteristic hand mirror shape were observe ...19826280495
epstein-barr virus and a unilateral neck mass.although epstein-barr infectious mononucleosis (im) might be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple neck masses in a young adult, single large masses are not usually associated with im. this patient did have a solitary mass. despite lacking other signs of im, he did have a positive heterophil-agglutination titer and reactive lymphocytes. other serologic tests can be of value in confirming the diagnosis, especially if the heterophil titer and reactive lymphocytes are absent. these t ...19826280658
oropharyngeal epstein-barr virus excretion in rheumatoid arthritis.we hypothesized that the defective cellular regulation of epstein-barr virus (ebv) in rheumatoid arthritis (ra) might be reflected in an increased rate of oropharyngeal virus excretion, but we found that the prevalence of excretion in 45 ra patients (22%) did not differ from 45 age- and sex-matched non-ra patients (24%) who were taking similar medications. increased excretion rates correlated with corticosteroid therapy and male sex, but not with age or serum levels of ebv antibodies.19826280734
characterization of transformed cells and tumors by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.cultured acute lymphoblastic leukemic cells give a well-resolved proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum characteristic of isolated plasma membranes. we demonstrate that the signals, in the spectrum of whole cells, arise predominantly from the plasma membrane and that cells transformed by pokeweed mitogen have membranes which are significantly less rigid than are normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes. normal thymus, malignant thymus, and a leukemic t-cell line have been compared by proton ...19826280854
characteristics of hodgkin's disease-derived cell lines.in the last 3 years we were able to establish five long-term in vitro cell cultures from biopsy specimens taken preterminally from four patients with histologically proven hodgkin's disease (nodular sclerosing type, clinical stage ivb). four of the lines are continuously proliferating in vitro; one culture stopped growth for unknown reasons after 7 months. when culture conditions were modulated, the first culture, l 428, gave rise to two sublines: l 428 ks, after adaptation to calf serum, and l ...19826280862

placental and fetal pathology in infectious mononucleosis. a possible indicator for epstein-barr virus teratogenicity.placentae and membranes were studied microscopically in five cases of pregnancy interruption due to maternal infectious mononucleosis in the first 2 months of pregnancy. this viral disease, caused by epstein-barr virus and apparently rare in pregnancy, induced specific placental lesions. in the decidua, these lesions were manifested by perivasculitis and necrotizing deciduitis. the membranes exhibited slight to moderate chorionitis. in the villi, endovasculitis, perivasculitis, and occasional va ...19826280944
human monoclonal autoimmune antibody produced in vitro: rheumatoid factor generated by epstein-barr virus-transformed cell line.the infection of selected lymphocytes from a rheumatoid arthritis patient with epstein-barr virus resulted in an immortalized cell line that secretes a monoclonal rheumatoid factor (rf). the cloned line has been growing for more than 24 months, and constantly produces a monoclonal igm, lambda, 19s, rf (1-2 micrograms/ml/106 cells). the rf agglutinates human and rabbit igg (but not igm) and also protein a-coated erythrocytes, but fails to do so to mouse, goat and swine igg-coated erythrocytes. wh ...19826281026
insulin binding to cultured b- and t-lymphocytes.insulin receptors have been demonstrated on activated but not resting t-lymphocytes. we compared insulin binding to several t- and b-cell tissue culture lines transformed by either radiation or lymphotrophic herpes virus. two t-cell lines derived from mouse lymphomas, one t-cell derived from the cotton top marmoset and one mouse b-cell line bound, at most, 3% of a tracer dose of [125i]insulin. in contrast, positive b-cell line (1605 l) derived from a leukemic cotton top marmoset, bound 40% of tr ...19826281177
differential cyst(e)ine requirements in human t and b lymphoblastoid cell lines.in an effort to find exploitable metabolic differences between human t and b lymphoblasts, we have compared the ability of lymphocytes of varying phenotype to grow in cystine-deficient medium. only 6 of 12 human lymphoblastoid cell lines tested were able to utilize homocysteine thiolactone or cystathionine in place of cystine for growth. this difference in growth requirements was unrelated to the rate of cell division, the presence of epstein-barr viral genetic material, or whether or not the ce ...19826281197
deficient activity of receptor-cyclase coupling protein is transformed lymphoblasts of patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism, type i.erythrocytes of many patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism, type 1 (php-i) exhibit quantitatively reduced activity of the n protein, the guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. we have designated this group of patients php-ia to distinguish them from php-ib patients, in whom erythrocyte n activity is quantitatively normal. in virus-transformed lymphoblasts of three normal, three php-ia, and two php-ib subjects, we compared n and adenylate cyclase activities, as wel ...19826281299
characterization of the major epstein-barr virus-specific rna in burkitt lymphoma-derived cells.cytoplasmic rna prepared from five lymphoid cell lines and a burkitt lymphoma biopsy was radioactively labeled in vitro and hybridized to cloned ecori restriction endonuclease fragments of b95-8 epstein-barr virus dna. the results confirmed that the most abundant cytoplasmic rna species in such cells is specified by a small region of the genome defined by the ecori j fragment. detailed mapping experiments precisely localized these transcripts within the sequence of the rightmost one-third of the ...19826281455
use of fluoresceinated epstein-barr virus to study epstein-barr virus-lymphoid cell interactions.as a direct approach to visualize epstein-barr virus (ebv) binding to its cellular receptors and to learn more on the nature of this binding, virus preparations were conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate and used to detect ebv receptors on lymphoid cells. different enzymatic and chemical treatments were also applied either to the virus or to target cells or to both, and the effect of these treatments on virus binding was then examined. the results obtained show that: (i) ebv can be fluorescei ...19826281475
induction of epstein-barr virus nuclear antigen and dna synthesis in a human epithelial cell line after epstein-barr virus infection.the association of epstein-barr virus (ebv) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma is supported by the presence of ebv genomes in the epithelial elements of the tumor and by elevated antibody titers to ebv-specific antigens in the patients; the levels of these titers are related to the clinical course of the disease. however, since most laboratory data suggest that ebv is a b-lymphotropic virus, it is unclear how the virus becomes associated with the epithelial elements of the nasopharynx. the purpose of ...19826281479
