| infectious mononucleosis associated with rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. | acute rhabdomyolysis and renal failure occurred in a 16-year-old boy with infectious mononucleosis; recovery was complete. renal failure is a rare complication of infectious mononucleosis. rhabdomyolysis has been reported only once in association with the epstein-barr virus, but has frequently been associated with influenza virus infections. prospective studies measuring creatine phosphokinase enzymes should establish the frequency of rhabdomyolysis in viral infections. | 1978 | 628861 |
| anti-viral activity induced by culturing lymphocytes with tumor-derived or virus-transformed cells. identification of the anti-viral activity as interferon and characterization of the human effector lymphocyte subpopulation. | a viral inhibitor(s) is released in the supernate of mixed cultures containing human or mouse lymphocytes and cells from certain lines. the inhibitor is active against a variety of unrelated viruses and is a protein that is not toxic for cells. it does not inactivate viruses directly, but inhibits viral replication through an intracellular mechanism that involves synthesis by the cells of both rna and protein. these characteristics identify the inhibitor as an interferon. the anti-viral activity ... | 1978 | 650155 |
| [bcg vaccination, cancer and infectious mononucleosis. a retrospective study of hospitalized patients]. | a retrospective study (1966--1976) of patients hospitalized for cancer was carried out to determine a possible relationship with bcg vaccination, with a control group matched for age and sex and a similar study concerning infectious mononucleosis. among 105 patients with cancer, 54 (51.42%) had been previously vaccinated with bcg, 56 (53.33%) in the control group, and 22 (33.84%) among the 65 patients with infectious mononucleosis (p less than 0.05, x2). the mean age on admission for cancer or i ... | 1978 | 711498 |
| fever of undetermined origin: role of cytomegalovirus and epstein-barr virus. | roles of various infections, neoplasms and granulomatous diseases in fever of unknown origin were studied in 22 patients. bacterial infections were responsible in seven (32 percent), herpes viruses in five (23 percent), neoplasms in four (18 percent) and granulomata in two (9 percent) cases. patients with herpes infections had initially no clinical or routine laboratory clues to viral involvement, and were given an intensive workup for 5 to 15 days. the diagnosis was made on the basis of cytomeg ... | 1978 | 716387 |
| transcription and circular dichroism of chromatin in lymphoblastoid cell lines during proliferation and quiescence. | rna polymerase activity of nuclei and positive circular dichroism ellipticity in the 250--300 nm region of chromatin were studied in three lymphoblastoid cell lines: hri, an epstein-barr virus (ebv) positive virus-producing line; raji, and ebv positive virus-producing line; raji, an ebv positive non-producer line; and su-amb-1, and ebv negative line. raji consistently exhibited the highest and su-amb-1 the lowest polymerase activity and ellipticity. all lines showed higher rna polymerase activit ... | 1978 | 718933 |
| spontaneous resolution of severe aplastic anemia associated with viral hepatitis a in a 6-year-old child. | recovery from acquired aplastic anemia associated with hepatitis is rare. this case of a 6-year-old boy with severe aplastic anemia is the first reported association of this disease with a hepatitis a infection. antibody to hepatitis a (anti-ha) was not detected on admission, but was detected three weeks later. infection with hepatitis b virus, cytomegalovirus (cmv), and epstein-barr virus (ebv) were excluded. the peak titer of anti-ha was higher than would be expected for passive transfer of an ... | 1978 | 752262 |
| [relation of antibody levels to epstein-barr virus to histological variant and clinical course of lymphogranulomatosis]. | the indirect immunofluorescent test in fixed p3hr-1 cells showed the sera from patients with lymphogranulomatosis to contain high titers of humoral antibody to the capsid antigen of epstein-barr virus. higher titers of antibody to ebv were associated with unfavourably running histological variants of lymphogranulomatosis. the lymphoid depletion variant was accompanied by high antibody titers to the virus and had a worse prognosis than the nodular-sclerotic variant with lower antibody titers but ... | 1976 | 769339 |
| [serological studies of antibodies to epstein-barr virus in infectious mononucleosis]. | this is the first study in this country of sera from patients with infectious mononucleosis and other infectious diseases (control group) for determination of complement-fixing antibody to the soluble (s) antigen and of fluorescent antibody to the virus capsid antigen (vca) of epstein-barr virus. it was established that the cft and the immunofluorescence test could be used for diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis only on a limited scale because of the lack of complement-fixing antibody in patie ... | 1976 | 779272 |
| [humoral antibodies to epstein-barr virus in infectious mononucleosis]. | a high level of humoral antibody to the capsid antigen of epstein-barr virus was found in sera from patients with infectious mononucleosis. for detection of antibody, the method of indirect immunofluorescence in fixed p3hehr cells of burkitt's lymphoma was used. sera from normal subjects were also shown to contain antibody to the capsid antigen of epstein-barr virus, but the titers were 5--10 times lower than in the sera from infectious mononucleosis patients. the occurrance of high titers of an ... | 1976 | 779273 |
| renal failure in infectious mononucleosis. | an 18-year-old man developed generalized lymphadenopathy and interstitial renal disease which progressed to irreversible renal failure. serologic studies evidenced the recent onset of infectious mononucleosis, and prior exposure to epstein-barr virus was demonstrated. lymph node, liver, and renal biopsies showed mononuclear cell infiltration consistent with infectious mononucleosis. although renal involvement in infectious mononucleosis rarely is severe, an association between infectious mononuc ... | 1976 | 788163 |
| properties of the k562 cell line, derived from a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia. | the k562 cell line derived from a cml patient in blast crisis was examined for properties of b and t lymphocytes and cell lines. k562 lacks the b markers of immunoglobulins, epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome and associated nuclear antigen, and receptors for ebv. a low proportion of cells from rosettes with sheep erythrocytes, the frequency of which is considerably increased after neuraminidase treatment. unlike b lines but like t lines, k562 cells are lysed rapidly by c'/fc receptor-positive human ... | 1976 | 789258 |
| [herpes virus in cell cultures of the hematopoietic organs of hamadrymas baboons with hemoblastosis]. | five transplantable suspension lymphblastoid cell cultures from haematopoietic organs of baboons with malignant lymphoma were obtained, designated as kmpg-1, spg-1, 2, 3, 4. the cells of these suspension cultures contain hvp virus belonging to herpes-type according to morphological (electron-microscopic) investigation, but differing from infectious viruses of this group and closely related to epstein-barr virus as evidenced by its characteristics. in conformity with the preliminary data the isol ... | 1976 | 818808 |
| continuous lymphoblastoid suspension cultures from cells of haematopoietic organs of baboons with malignant lymphoma--biological characterization and biological properties of the herpes virus associated with culture cells. | the continuous lymphoblastoid cell lines kmpg-1 and spg-2 producing baboon herpes virus (hvp) with morphological signs of herpes viruses have been established from haematopoietic organs of lymphomatous baboons. as distinct from h.simplex type i and ii viruses hvp is not pathogenic for laboratory rodents. according to its physico-chemical and immunological properties hvp is related to the epstein-barr virus. | 1976 | 825381 |
| [post-transfusion hepatitis 1973 and 1974 in the zürich region]. | more than 100 000 units of blood were tranfused during the years 1973-74 in the region of zurich. 30 cases of posttransfusion hepatitis (pth) reported in this period were investigated with regard to the origin of the tranfused blood, and 24 (71%) proved to be hepatitis b antigen (hbs-ag) positive. despite the use of a sensitive method for hbs-ag screening, transfusion of hbs-ag positive blood was found to be responsible for pth in 4 cases only. in 88% of the cases there was no proof that the pth ... | 1977 | 834982 |
| hematopathology and pathogenesis of the x-linked recessive lymphoproliferative syndrome. | subtle immunodeficiency to infectious agents including measles virus and ten epstein-barr virus (ebv) has been described in the x-linked recessive lymphoproliferative syndrome. this syndrome has affected six male cousins and possibly another boy. three brothers died of an infectious mononucleosis syndrome, in a maternal cousin agammaglobulinemia developed three years after infectious mononucleosis, and two half-brothers of the duncan kindred died of lymphoma of the brain and intestinal tract, re ... | 1977 | 835602 |
| [neurological complications of infectious mononucleosis (author's transl)]. | the authors report three different and rare forms of neurological complication associated with infectious mononucleosis. the first two, which are faily unusual in their clinical signs, occurred during the course of two typical cases of mononucleosis, one in the form of progressively regressive myelitis and the other in that of amyotrophic paralysis of the shoulder. the third occurred in isolation, after an encephalitic attack combined with a state of epileptic mal, with no other accompanying inf ... | 1977 | 842275 |
| chromosome 14 translocation in african and north american burkitt's lymphoma;. | two established north american burkitt lymphoma cell lines were studied by chromosomal banding techniques. the su-amb-1 line previously shown to be negative for the epstein-barr virus (ebv) was found to have, among other changes, a translocation from the long arm (q) of chromosome 8 onto 14q. the su-amb-2 line, which contains the ebv genome, also displayed the same 8/14 translocation. these results were compared with data from three ebv-positive tumor cell lines derived from patients with africa ... | 1977 | 844916 |
| a new class of infectious agents detectable by the production of chorioallantoic membrane lesions by human lymphoblastoid cell lines and their culture supernatants. | intravenous injection of cells and their tissue culture supernatants (cs) from human lymphoblastoid cell lines (lcl) induced the formation of lesions on the chorioallantoic membrane (cam) of the chicken embryo. injection of cells and cs from non-lcl and normal human lymphocytes induced few or no lesions. irradiated chick embryos were more sensitive to lesion formation than were nonirradiated embryos. the log10 cam lesions induced in irradiated (500 rads) embryos were a linear function of the log ... | 1977 | 845990 |
| burkitt's lymphoma in australia. | an australian case of burkitt's lymphoma is reported. the clinical features of large ovarian masses and subsequent bone marrow invasion, as well as the results of investigations related to the epstein-barr virus, were more consistent with the american than the african type of burkitt's lymphoma. after a good initial response to cyclophosphamide and vincristine, the tumour rapidly became resistant to these and other therapeutic measures and the patient died 10 months after diagnosis. | 1977 | 859483 |
| sequential evaluation of cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity responses to recall and to lymphoid cell line antigens in burkitt's lymphoma. | delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions to standard recall antigens (candidin, mumps and ppd), to crude membrane extracts of a cell line derived from burkitt's lymphoma (raji) and to cell line derived from normal lymphocytes (f265) were sequentially evaluated in 44 patients with burkitt's lymphoma. sixteen patients (36%) manifested delayed hypersensitivity responses to the standard antigens and seven (16%) to the raji membrane extract at presentation. following successful chemotherapy, ther ... | 1977 | 903183 |
| [serologic survey for the determination of antibodies against various virus infections, mycoplasma, beta hemolytic a streptococcus and toxoplasma gondii, performed on children of a state-of-mexico municipality]. | a seroepidemiologic inquest was carried out in 667 children from the county of huixquilucan, mexico, looking for serum antibodies against infections caused by the following microorganisms: epstein-barr virus; cytomegalovirus; syncytial respiratory; para-influenza 1, 2 and 3; measles; rubella; mumps; mycoplasma pneumoniae, beta hemolytic a streptococcus and toxoplasma gondii. the findings are reported. considerations are made on the incidence of these diseases in different age groups and a compar ... | 1977 | 911440 |

| survey of human lymphoblastoid cell lines and primary cultures of normal and leukaemic leukocytes for oncornavirus production. | velocity sedimentation of uridine-labelled cultures was found to be more reliable than isopycnic sedimentation in detecting oncornavirus production in lymphoid cells. of 13 cell lines (including six derivea from burkitt's lymphomas and two from leukaemic leukocytes) only one, the leukaemia-derived, epstein-barr virus-producing line qimr-wil, showed any activity. the nature of the qimr-wil particles was further defined by isolation of uridine-labelled 70s rna and by the simultaneous assay for rev ... | 1976 | 977188 |
| disparity in the production of lymphoblastogenesis inhibition factor by cultured human b and t lymphoid cell lines. | a comparative study of inhibitory effects of cell-free supernatants from cultured human b and t lymphoid cell lines on lymphocyte blastogenesis indicated that the inhibitory effect of supernatant from b lymphoid cells on lymphocyte blastogenesis was significantly higher than that of supernatant from t lymphoid cells or from non-lymphoid neoplastic cells. the inhibitory effect of supernatant was reversible and dose-related. the inhibitory effect gradually diminished with time when the supernatant ... | 1975 | 1081931 |
| the american burkitt lymphoma registry: a progress report. | the american burkitt lymphoma registry (ablr) investigates the cause of burkitt's lymphoma through comparative studies involving endemic and nonendemic regions. in 3 years 114 cases have been confirmed. diagnosis was based on evaluation of pathologic materialy submitted to ablr pathologists. similarities between american and african patients included abrupt clinical presentation with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, jaw, gonads, and central nervous system. response to high-dose cycloph ... | 1975 | 1147436 |
| lectin agglutinability of non-neoplastic and neoplastic human lymphoid cells in vitro. | agglutination by two lectins, concanavalin a (con a) and ricinus communis agglutinin (rca), has been investigated in a human lymphoid cell system. the main conclusions of this study are: (1) no systematic correlation exists between the neoplastic state and sensitivity to con a or rca; (2) cells of neoplastic lines vary unsystematically in their surface properties as evaluated by con a agglutination, with the possible exception that presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) is associated with a high d ... | 1975 | 1150344 |
| cell-mediated immunity in human acute leukemia. | the general cell-mediated immunological reactivity of patients with acute leukemia has been found to be intact, although it may be depressed by extensive disease or by chemotherapy. patients with acute leukemia also have cellular immune reactivity against tumor associated antigens, as measured by skin tests for delayed hypersensitivity, lymphocyte stimulation, and 51cr release cytotoxicity. skin reactions to autologous and allogeneic crude membrane extracts of blast cells correlated with disease ... | 1975 | 1164404 |
| [epidemiology of cancer of the cavum]. | while rare in most parts of the world, cancer of the nasopharynx is shown to be very common in southern chinese whether living in south china or elsewhere, is of intermediate level in a variety of mongoloid populations such as malays, thais, javanese and vietnamese and the indigeneous peoples of borneo, yet uncommon in north china and very rare in japan. moderate frequencies are seen in parts of the maghreb, malta, the sudan and possibly east africa. occupational risk has not been demonstrated a ... | 1975 | 1191785 |
| the emerging pattern of post-transfusion hepatitis. | the exclusion of commercial and hepatitis b surface antigen (hbs ag)-positive donors, as measured by counterelectrophoresis, has markedly reduced the frequency of post-transfusion hepatitis (pth). a further, significant reduction in type-b pth can be achieved by prescreening donors for hbs ag by solid-phase radioimmunoassay (ria); when a voluntary donor population, pretreated by ria, is used, approximately 90 per cent of residual hepatitis is serologically unrelated to either the type-a or type- ... | 1975 | 1235474 |
| sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy: fifteen new cases. | fifteen cases of chronic lymphadenitis with massive hemophagocytic sinus histiocytosis were analyzed. fourteen patients were whites, 13 were europeans, and 11 were males; 10 patients were under 10, 4 were over 20, and 2 over 60 years old. the oldest patient died; all other either healed without therapy or are in excellent condition. we studied the cytologic features of lymph node imprints. a 5-year-old girl was examined more thoroughly. high antibody titers to klebsiella antigens were found repe ... | 1976 | 1253107 |
