| a study of epstein barr virus receptor activity in cell free extracts of human lymphoblastoid cells. | epstein barr virus (ebv) receptor activity in cell free extracts is operationally defined as one which causes a reduction in the effective concentration of the early antigen inducing particles of an ebv preparation when the latter is preincubated with the extract before infection. such activity was detected in the surface extract of raji cells and to a lesser extent in that of bjab cells, both of which are b lymphoblastoid cells that are susceptible to infection with ebv. receptor activity was n ... | 1978 | 215107 |
| histological types of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in an intermediate risk area. | between april and december 1974, 485 cases of npc were seen at the salah azaïz institute in tunis. a histological study was carried out according to a classification that comprises four types of tumour:well-differentiated squamous-cell carcinoma, poorly-differentiated squamous-cell carcinoma, 'nasopharyngeal' type carcinoma and an anaplastic type. some correlation between these histological types and clinical, epidemiological, virological and prognostic features was found. | 1978 | 215511 |

| epstein-barr virus-epithelial cell interaction and its implication in the etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | the etiological role of ebv in npc is still a matter for debate. a major question is how the viral dna becomes associated with the carcinoma cell, since only b lymphocytes are at present known to have receptors to ebv. the following hypotheses are proposed: (1) the epithelial cells of the nasopharynx have ebv receptors in vivo; transformation of the epithelial cell thus results from a direct interaction between ebv and this cell type. the epithelial cells of the nasopharynx are not permissive fo ... | 1978 | 215520 |
| early and late components of epstein-barr virus-associated membrane antigen in superinfected daudi cells and their reactivity with sera from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. | investigations were carried out on newly synthesized ma, vca and ea in daudi cells superinfected with the p3hr-1 strain of ebv and treated with trypsin to remove previously adsorbed ma-positive material from the cell surface. synthesis of ma, vca and ea was completely blocked by puromycin. a marked reduction in the frequency of ma-positive cells was observed in the infected cell cultures in the presence of either ara-c or pa, but a fraction of the ma-positive cells was insensitive to the inhibit ... | 1978 | 215521 |
| heterogeneity of epstein-barr virus derived from p3hr-1 cells. | infection of cells of the ebv-free human b-lymphoma lines bjab and ramos resulted in conversion of these cells to ebv-genome carriers expressing ebna. ebv isolates from p3hr-1 cells induced a heterogeneous ebna pattern: both a faintly granular pattern and brilliant ebna-expression were observed. the two types of ebna-expressing cells could be separated upon cloning. brilliantly ebna-expressing cells always segregated varying percentages of ebna-negative cells. an ebna-negative subclone derived f ... | 1978 | 215522 |
| expression of latent epstein-barr virus genomes in human epithelial/burkitt's lymphoblastoid hybrid cells. | expression of latent epstein-barr virus genomes in somatic-cell hybrids of burkitt's lymphoblastoid cells has been studied. treatment of the hybrid cells, d98/raji and d98/hr-1, with iudr induced the formation of ea and vca and replication of virus dna, whereas the same treatment of raji cells induced only the formation of ea. the patterns of transcription of virus genomes in these three cell lines were, however, very similar: 25% without treatment with iudr, 30% immediately after the treatment ... | 1978 | 215523 |
| interaction between epstein-barr virus and type-c virus in human cells. | the interaction between ebv and type-c viruses was studied in our fvnc experimental system, in which ebv and type-c viral genomes are contained in each cell. the data indicate that the human lymphoid fvnc cells are sensitive to both ebv and type-c virus exposure, showing high frequencies of induction of both repressed viral genomes. the two different viral genomes may be associated with different chromosomes in individual cells. | 1978 | 215524 |

| 14q+ marker chromosome in an ebv-genome-negative lymph node without signs of malignancy in a patient with ebv-genome-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | in a patient with an ebv-genome-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma, an ebv-genome-negative inguinal lymph node without histological evidence of malignant lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma growth was found to contain a 14q+ marker chromosome, identified as an 8;14 translocation, in all cells analyzed. this observation indicates that chromosome aberrations may precede histological signs of malignancy. the possible implication of this finding in relation to the postulated role of the 14q+ marker and ... | 1979 | 215561 |
| correlated expression of a b-lymphocyte-specific glycoprotein (gp27/35) and the ebv receptor/c3 receptor complex in sublines from the same burkitt lymphoma. | a series of virus-producer and non-producer sublines, derived from the burkitt lymphoma line jijoye and its p3hr-1 clone, were previously found to differ in the expression of ebv receptors and, in parallel, c3 receptors. the differences could be related to an "internal selection" caused by the cytopathic p3hr-1 virus variant, favouring the growth of receptor-negative cells. we have now analyzed the same lines for the expression of a b-lymphocyte-specific glycoprotein (gp27/35). a close parallell ... | 1979 | 215562 |

| analysis of the transformation of human lymphocytes by epstein-barr virus. i. sequential occurrence from the virus-determined nuclear antigen synthesis, to blastogenesis, to dna synthesis. | a b-cell population of human cord blood lymphocytes was exposed to the b95-8 strain of epstein-barr virus (ebv), and simultaneous observations of immunofluorescence, cellular morphology and autoradiography were carried out in each individual cell. it was evident that ebv-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) synthesis occurred prior to blastogenic response and dna synthesis. ebna-positive cells could be observed as early as 12 h after infection and reached a maximum of 17% at 24 h, followed by a pla ... | 1979 | 218892 |
| replication of herpes simplex virus in human b lymphocytes stimulated by epstein-barr virus. | human b lymphocytes prepared from adult blood or cord blood by the use of neuraminidase-treated sheep red blood cells which did not respond mitogenically to phytohemagglutinin or pokeweed mitogen, responded well to the b95-8 strain of epstein-barr virus, but not to the p3hr-1 strain, with increased incorporation of tritiated thymidine. replication of herpes simplex virus could be demonstrated in cultures of b lymphocytes preincubated with the b95-8 strain. | 1979 | 218893 |
| sensitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay for detection of human immunoglobulin g antibodies to varicella-zoster virus. | a sensitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay for detection of antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (vzv) is described. the antigen consisted of a sonically disrupted extract of vzv-infected human embryo cells. 125i-labeled rabbit anti-human immunoglobulin g (igg) specific for the fc portion of human igg was used to detect human igg bound to viral antigen. with this technique, 193 human sera were evaluated for their igg antibody titer against zvz. subjects included 62 healthy adults, 33 young childre ... | 1979 | 219015 |
| characterization of an epstein-barr virus-induced dna polymerase. | the addition of iododeoxyuridine to p3hr-i cell cultures led to a large increase in both epstein-barr virus (ebv)-induced dna polymerase activity and early antigen-positive cells. this ebv-induced dna polymerase was separated from the cellular alpha- and beta-polymerases by sequential column chromatography on sepharose 6b, deae-cellulose, and phosphocellulose, resulting in partial purification of about 320-fold. the partially purified-ebv dna polymerase could be distinguished from the cellular d ... | 1979 | 219209 |
