| tumorigenicity of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-transformed lymphoid line cells in autologous squirrel monkeys. | eight squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus) challenged with ebv or ebv-transformed slcl were naturally or experimentally infected with plasmodium knowlesi or pl. brasilianum. most of the animals had been splenectomized and unilaterally nephrectomized. three of these monkeys received one dose of 6 to 12 x 10(8) autologous slcl. these lines were derived from saimiri lymphoid cells permanently transformed by b-ebv in vitro. all three animals developed multiple undifferentiated malignant lymphomas and ... | 1976 | 179960 |
| appearance of epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen in human epithelial cells following fusion with lymphoid cells. | when human epithelial fl cells were fused with lymphoid cells harboring epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome, ebv-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) immunofluorescence became evident in high frequency in fl nuclei of heterokaryons several days after fusion. the implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the presence of ebv genome in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. | 1975 | 179963 |
| in vitro stimulation of lymphocytes of donors seronegative for epstein-barr virus by preparations of inactivated epstein-barr virus. | heat-inactivated preparations of epstein-barr virus stimulated human lymphocytes as assayed by incorporation of [(3)h]thymidine. the inactivated epstein-barr virus stimulated the lymphocytes of all five seropositive donors, 11 of 14 seronegative donors (aged eight to 26 years), and none of 15 neonates. control antigens prepared from a human lymphoid cell line devoid of the epstein-barr virus genome did not stimulate the lymphocytes of seronegative donors. fetal calf serum at the concentration us ... | 1976 | 180190 |
| use of a transfection method to demonstrate a monolayer cell transforming agent from the eb3 line of burkitt's lymphoma cells. | primary human amnion cell monolayers which had been treated with deae-dextran, washed, and then inoculated with sonicated cells of the eb3 line of burkitt's lymphoma cells developed foci of transformed amnion cells 7 to 14 days later. when either the deae-dextran or the sonicate was omitted, no significant transformation was found. the foci consisted of enlarging mounds of rapidly dividing cells, which upon subculturing continued their high miotic activity; and strains or lines of the transforme ... | 1976 | 180248 |
| antibodies to epstein-barr virus in neurological diseases. | an association of evidence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection in 3 different cases of neurological disease not related to infectious monomucleosis is reported. a rise in antibody titres to ebv-viral capsid antigen (vca) and early antigen (ea) in the serum and csf was demonstrated in a patient with acute encephalitis and in a patient with a psychotic-like organic brain syndrome. both patients demonstrated albuminocytological dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid. igm antibodies specific to e ... | 1976 | 180262 |
| tonsillectomy and infectious mononucleosis--a possible relationship. | a review of 1,192 student medical records shows a prior history of tonsillectomy in 41 percent of a control group and 22 percent of an infectious mononucleosis group--a significant difference (p less than 0.01). nine hundred eighty-nine stanford university students (421 females, 568 males) who visited cowell student health center between april and september, 1973, comprise the control group. two hundred three students with positive monospot tests and clinical mononucleosis diagnosed between june ... | 1976 | 180364 |
| [burkitt's lymphoma (author's transl)]. | burkitt's lymphoma occurs endemically in central africa, but is also found sporadically in areas with temperate climate. a case of burkitt's lymphoma found in our area is described. the literature in regard to the clinical symptoms, etiology and treatment of burkitt's lymphoma is reviewed. at the present time cyclophosphamide is considered to be the drug of choice; it leads to a remission rate of about 90%. | 1976 | 180474 |
| [immunologic study of suspension cultures prepared from hematopoietic organ cells of baboons with lymphoma]. | the cytoplasmic antigen was determined by the indirect immunofluorescence test using serum from a burkitt lymphoma patient with a titer of antibody to epstein-barr virus capsid antigen of 1.320, in the cytoplasm of 2--6% of cells of suspension cultures obtained from baboons with lymphoma. there was a correlation between the number of antigen-containing cells in this cultures and the number of cells in which herpes virus was determined by electron microscope studies. sera from baboons with lympho ... | 1976 | 180690 |
| production of infectious epstein-barr virus by using an intermittent culture collection system. | procedures were developed to produce infectious epstein-barr virus in large glass fermentors with limited mechanical agitation by using an intermittent culture collection system. the system appears quite suitable for use in fermentation vessels of 50 liters or larger. | 1976 | 180889 |

| surface markers on human b and t-lymphocytes. ix. two-color immunofluorescence studies on the association between ebv receptors and complement receptors on the surface of lymphoid cell lines. | receptors for the third component of complement (c3) were demonstrated on the surface of established human lymphoid cell lines by a membrane fluorescence test with fitc- or tritc-conjugated antibodies against human c3. two-color fluorescence staining of ebv receptors and c3 receptors showed complete overlapping of green and red fluorescence. capping of the ebv receptor induced co-capping of the c3 receptor and vice versa. there was neither overlapping nor co-capping when ebv or c3 receptors were ... | 1976 | 181330 |
| detection of epstein-barr virus dna in american burkitt's lymphoma. | twenty american patients with burkitt's lymphoma (bl) were studied serologically and biochemically to detect an association with epstein-barr virus (ebv). a wide range of antibody reactivities was encountered. five patients had serological profiles similar to those of african patients with bl: one and possibly two of these patients harbored ebv-dna in their tumors. fifteen patients had low or absent antibody to ebv: tumors from 10 of these patients lacked evidence of ebv-dna. an unexplained asso ... | 1976 | 181331 |
| epstein-barr virus: experimental infection of callithrix jacchus marmosets. | eight common marmoset monkeys (callithrix jacchus) were inoculated with about 10(4) transforming units of b95-8 virus; seven of the marmosets died 50-111 days post inoculation and all seven showed microscopic and/or macroscopic lesions compatible with a diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease. low levels of anti-vca antibodies were detected in plasma from six marmosets. attempts failed to establish continuous ebv-carrying lymphoblastoid cell cultures by cultivation in vitro of circulating lymph ... | 1976 | 181333 |
| anti-ebv antibody titers in non-hodgkin lymphomas. | antibody titers to epstein-barr virus (ebv)-related antigens, i.e. viral capsid antigen (vca), the d and r components of the early antigen (ea) complex and the ebv-associated nuclear antigen (ebna), were determined in a series of 86 patients with non-hodgkin lymphomas and in 150 matched control subjects. the lymphoma patients belonged to four histological groups: diffuse, nodular, hyperbasophilic malignant lymphoma (hml) and unclassified. the ebv-related serological data were compared to the inc ... | 1976 | 181335 |
| production of lymphoid tumors in hamsters by direct implantation of normal human peripheral and umbilical cord leukocytes. | peripheral leukocytes from epstein-barr virus (ebv)-seropositive or seronegative normal adults, or human umbilical cord leukocytes infected or not infected with ebv, were directly transplanted into 50 newborn hamsters treated with anti-lymphocyte serum. lymphoid tumors were produced after a latent period of 10-25 days in 39 animals: 8 of 14 recipients of seropositive donor leukocytes, 2 of 2 recipients of seronegative donor leukocytes, 13 of 15 recipients of ebv-infected cord leukocytes, and 16 ... | 1976 | 181336 |
| a quantitative analysis of the susceptibility of human leukocytes to transformation by epstein-barr virus. | susceptibility of lymphocyte-enriched cell fractions isolated from human umbilical cord blood and adult peripheral blood to transformation by the b95-8 strain of epstein-barr virus (ebv) was investigated quantitatively. minimum multiplicity of input of virus (50% transforming dose) per cell (moi) necessary to induce maximum level transformation of cord cells ranged from 0.02 to 0.2. the frequency of initially transformed cells (fraction of transformable cells) in the cord cell samples from two d ... | 1976 | 181337 |
| an ebv-genome-negative cell line established from an american burkitt lymphoma; receptor characteristics. ebv infectibility and permanent conversion into ebv-positive sublines by in vitro infection. | an in vitro line was derived from an american burkitt lymphoma, designated ra no. 1, which produced malignant tumors when inoculated into thymus-deficient nude mice. the cells have b-lymphocyte characteristics, with surface-associated mu and kappa chains and epstein-barr virus (ebv) receptors, and can be readily infected with ebv in vitro. b95-8 virus induced ebv-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) but not early antigen (ea) in ra no. 1 cells, whereas p3hr-1 virus induced both ebna and ea, but the ... | 1975 | 181343 |
| mechanisms of infection with epstein-barr virus. i. viral dna replication and formation of noninfectious virus particles in superinfected raji cells. | human lymphoblastoid raji cells, which do not produce virus, supported replication of epstein-barr virus (ebv) upon superinfection. early antigen, viral capsid antigen, and virions were produced in raji cells superinfected with ebv. viral dna replicated under complete inhibition of host cell dna synthesis to the extent that a few micrograms of ebv dna were recovered from 107 superinfected raji cells, corresponding to 5,000 viral genomes/cell. homology of the synthesized viral dna to parental ebv ... | 1976 | 181594 |
