| lymphoproliferative disease in a cotton-top marmoset after inoculation with infectious mononucleosis-derived epstein-barr virus. | injection of concentrated ebv derived from cells of the kaplan line of infectious mononucleosis (im) origin resulted in malignant lymphoproliferation in one out of three cotton-top marmosets 6 weeks after inoculation. two additional animals receiving the same isolate after incubation with an antibody-containing human serum did not develop tumors. inoculation of concentrated virus derived from the p3hr-1 line of burkitt origin did not lead to lymphoproliferations in five marmosets. three of these ... | 1975 | 168158 |
| antibodies to epstein-barr virus-associated nuclear antigen and to other viral and non-viral antigens in hodgkin's disease. | antibody reactivity to epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen (ebna) was investigated by means of the anticomplement immunofluorescence technique on sera from patients with hodgkin's disease (hd) and from appropriate controls. antibody levels to other ebv-determined antigens, i.e. viral capsid (vca) and early antigens (ea), and to measles and rubella viruses, to cytomegalovirus (cmv), and to toxoplasma gondii were also measured. the results of anti-ebv antibody titrations demonstrat ... | 1975 | 168161 |
| epidemiological studies of epstein-barr herpesvirus infection in western australia. | in a study of a caucasian population in western australia the prevalence of antibodies to epstein-barr virus (ebv) was 41% in the 9- to 10-year age group, 80% in the 16 to 19-year age group and 92% in young adults. the age-specific annual seroconversion rates indicated two peaks of primary ebv infection in the population studied - one under 5 years of age and the other at adolescence. the geometric mean titre rose with age, from 23 at 5-6 years to 53 at 36-40 years. it was shown that in 73 famil ... | 1975 | 168249 |
| enhanced destruction of lymphoid cell lines by peripheral blood leukocytes taken from patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. | the cytotoxicity of peripheral blood leukocytes from normal human donors and from patients with ebv-associated infectious nomonucleosis (im) has been determined for human lymphoid cell lines (lcl) containing epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna. in a 51cr release assay, mononuclear leukocytes from all donors are spontaneously cytotoxic. leukocytes taken from patients within the first 2 weeks of overt im are significantly more cytotoxic. this increased cytotoxicity declines to the spontaneous level as th ... | 1975 | 168255 |

| antibodies to epstein-barr virus in patients with cryptococcosis. | antibody levels to the epstein-barr virus, the etiological agent for heterophile-positive infectious mononucleosis, have been demonstrated in high titer in a number of lymphomas as well as infectious mononucleosis. recent reports have suggested that the elevated antibody levels to epstein-barr virus may be the nonspecific result of disordered cell-mediated immunity. this study of patients with cryptococcosis was therefore undertaken to examine another disorder of known etiology associated with a ... | 1975 | 170312 |
| radioimmunoassay for detection of antibodies to epstein-barr virus in human infectious mononucleosis serum specimens. | a rapid microradioimmunoassay (ria) technique was adapted for quantitatively measuring antibody titers to antigens occurring in epstein-barr virus (ebv)-infected lymphoid cells. in these experiments two ebv-infected cell lines, hr1k and eb-3, were used as antigen-positive cells and molt-4 was used as the negative control cells. the antibody titers of sera from suspected infectious mononucleosis patients were compared by ria and indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) methods. as determined by each o ... | 1975 | 170314 |
| sensitivity of the epstein-barr virus transformed human lymphoid cell lines to interferon. | the effect of interferon on expression of epstein-barr virus (ebv) early gene functions was investigated. the 'early antigen' synthesis which follows either ebv superinfection of established lymphoid cell lines or 5'-iododeoxyuridine activation of the intrinsic ebv genomes harboured by these cells could be suppressed with interferon. in contrast, the spontaneous early antigen expression that occurs in a few per cent of the cells in the producer cell lines could not be blocked with interferon. th ... | 1975 | 170370 |

| childhood hodgkin's disease in israel. a study of 17 cases. | a study of 17 children suffering from hodgkin's disease (h.d.) is presented. the special ethnic distribution with predominance in arab and oriental jewish children is noted. a high incidence of mixed cellularity histology in arab children is emphasized. a conservative approach to therapy, i.e. extended field regional radiotherapy only, resulted in a long first complete remission period in lymphocyte predominance and nodular sclerosis h.d. stages ia and iia. all children in stage iiib and iv were ... | 1975 | 173461 |
| anti-epstein-barr virus antibody in patients with cancer of various sites and control groups. | sera collected from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc, 321 cases), cancer of the other sites (297 cases), diseases of the ear, nose and throat (64 cases) and neighborhood controls matched for age and sex (817 cases) were titrated for antibodies to epstein-barr virus (ebv) by the indirect immunofluorescence antibody technique. high anti-ebv antibody titers (greater than or equal to 1:640) were noted in 55% in patients with npc but only less than 31% were noted for the other 3 groups. th ... | 1975 | 173499 |
| an improved specific igm antibody assay for epstein-barr virus. | a new method for detecting specific igm antibodies to the epstein-barr virus using indirect fluorescence is presented. the procedure is simple and reproducible, and of great value for the diagnosis of an acute infection. the number of positive cells is higher than in the epstein-barr igg test. it would seem that it is possible to detect a positive igm-specific antigen with this new test. | 1975 | 173658 |
| epidemiologic study of a leukocyte-transforming agent in a general population. | studies by others have demonstrated a leukocyte-transforming agent(s) (lta) in the oropharyngeal secretions of a significant number of individuals with epstein-barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis, cancer, and, to a lesser extent, an outpatient population. this present study determines by systematic sampling the prevalence of lta in 27 families of a semirural community. throat swab inoculums from three of 54 adults and none of 44 children induced transformation of umbilical cord lympho ... | 1975 | 173738 |

| in vitro evaluation of cell-mediated immunity to epstein-barr herpesvirus by cell migration inhibition tests. | migration of peripheral leukocytes in samples from sensitized [epstein-barr virus (ebv) antibody-positive] humans was greatly inhibited when challenged by antigen prepared from ebv-producing p3hr-1 cells but not by antigen prepared from ebv-nonproducing raji cells, ebv-negative human fibroblasts, or epithelial cells. such inhibition was not observed when peripheral leuocytes from subjects or neonates not sensitized to ebv were challenged. similar results were obtained in a two-stage test when th ... | 1975 | 173867 |
| [juvenile tonsillectomy and leukemia]. | among 305 children with leukemia, between one and fourteen years old, authors found 8 and in a comparative group ("individual matched pairs") 40 children with removed tonsils. the difference (2.62% tonsillectomized children in the leukemia-group, 13.11% in the comparative group) is highly significant. the frequency of tonsillectomy in childhood in germany corresponds to the percentage of 13.11%. it has to be discussed, if there exists a causality between the state of the tonsils and the frequenc ... | 1975 | 173947 |

| surface marker characteristics and epstein-barr virus studies of two established north american burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. | tumor cell lines have been established in continuous culture from two north american burkitt's lymphomas. the su-amb-1 line, derived from a patient with low serum antibody titers to epstein-barr virus (ebv), was devoid of ebv genomes by the reaction for ebv-associated nuclear antigen (ebna), could not be induced to express ebv antigens, and was highly refractory to ebv superinfection. conversely, the su-amb-2 cell line, derived from a patient with "african type" serology, yielded a positive ebna ... | 1976 | 174098 |
