| recovery of transforming ebv from non-producer cells after superinfection with non-transforming p3hr-1 ebv. | cells of the raji and nc37 lines can be induced by chemical inducers, such as brdurd and idurd, or the tumor-promoter tpa to ea-expression only, but do not reveal any vca synthesis. after superinfection by nontransforming p3hr-1 ebv, however, a varying percentage of the cell population shows vca synthesis and releases infectious viral particles. the recovered virus differs biologically from p3hr-1 ebv since it transforms human umbilical cord blood lymphocytes into ebna-positive lymphoblastoid ce ... | 1978 | 212377 |
| detection of epstein-barr virus antigens and antibodies by peroxidase-labeled specific immunoglobulins. | detection of the epstein-barr (ebv) antigens, early antigen (ea), viral capsid antigen (vca), and nuclear antigen (ebna) by the indirect immunoperoxidase technique was highly sensitive. antibody titers to ebna, ea, and vca were determined in more than 25 sera of patients with burkitt lymphoma (bl), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc), or normal persons. a good correlation between the titers of these antigens was obtained by the immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence methods. the indirect (anti-igg) ... | 1978 | 212523 |
| effects of adenine arabinoside on lymphocytes infected with epstein-barr virus. | low concentrations of adenine arabinoside inhibited growth of two epstein-barr virus producer cell lines in culture, while not significantly affecting a nonproducer cell line and a b-cell-negative line. these observations were extended to include freshly infected cells. mitogen-stimulated human umbilical cord blood lymphocytes were unaffected by the drug at concentration levels that inhibited [3h]thymidine incorporation into the dna of epstein-barr virus-stimulated cells. dna synthesis in epstei ... | 1978 | 212577 |
| purification of the epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen from epstein-barr virus-transformed human lymphoid cell lines. | the epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) was purified from extracts of the human lymphoid cell lines raji, namalwa, and b95-8/mld by two different methods. in the first approach, the apparently native antigen was purified 1,200-fold by a four-step procedure involving dna-cellulose chromatography, blue dexptran-agarose chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, and gel filtration, employing complement fixation as the assay procedure. such ebna preparations specifically inhibit ... | 1978 | 212583 |

| isolation of a herpesvirus-specific dna polymerase from tissues of an american patient with burkitt lymphoma. | a dna polymerase (dna nucleotidyltransferase) has been partially purified from a neck mass of an american patient with burkitt lymphoma and separated from the cellular dna polymerases. the molecular weight of the enzyme was approximately 90,000. the enzyme differs from the cellular dna polymerases, but resembles herpes-virus-induced dna polymerase in its primer template preference, high monovalent cation requirement for activity, and sensitivity to phosphonoacetate. enzyme activity was inhibited ... | 1978 | 212756 |
| activation of endogenous type c virus in balb/c mouse cells by herpesvirus dna. | several virion and nonvirion dnas were tested for the ability to activate endogenous type c virus in balb/c-derived mouse cells using the calcium precipitation technique. the dnas from all herpesviruses tested activated xenotropic type c virus synthesis. these included dnas from herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, epstein-barr virus, human cytomegalovirus, sa8 virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, pseudorabies virus, and herpes saimiri virus (m-dna). in contrast, dnas from vaccinia vir ... | 1978 | 212761 |
| prospects of vaccines against cancer in man. | preventive immunization is the cheapest and most effective approach to the management of epidemic disease. certain forms of cancer, including burkitt's lymphoma, carcinoma of the cervix, primary liver cancer, acute leukaemia and breast cancer show many characteristics of epidemic disease, and the possibility of producing preventive vaccine against these conditions merits serious consideration. | 1978 | 212839 |
| [isolation of the epstein-barr virus in suspension cell lines obtained from persons with different forms of hemoblastosis]. | isolation of ebv from patients with different types of haemoblastosis by establishing virus-producing cell lines is described. ebv was isolated from patients with myelogenous leukemia in 71%, hodgkin's disease--in 22%. ebv was also isolated from 1 patient with lung tumor and leukemogenic reaction. all 8 established cell lines produced ebv in 0.5--3% of cells. the cells of the lines concerned are lymphoblasts and show b-cell characteristics. | 1978 | 212872 |
| latent viruses and bell's palsy in children. | 4 children with unilateral facial palsy--bell's palsy (bp)--had serological evidence of primary infection with epstein-barr virus (ebv). concomitant infection with cytomegalovirus (cmv) was demonstrated in 1 child while in all 4 children a rise in antibody titers to an additional one or two viruses was demonstrated. the viruses involved were herpes simplex, cmv and adenovirus which are latent in humans. immunosuppression induced by ebv and steroid treatment may cause reactivation of these viruse ... | 1978 | 213283 |

| two epstein-barr virus-associated dna polymerase activities. | we have partially purified and characterized two separate dna polymerase activities associated with epstein-barr virus (eb virus). one activity is present in eb virus producer cell lines but not in nonproducer or negative cell lines. it adheres more strongly to deae-cellulose than any host cell enzymes, eluting at 210 to 270 mm potassium phosphate buffer. further elution from phosphocellulose and sedimentation in glycerol gradients yields an enzyme purified 900-fold with an s value of 8.3. the s ... | 1978 | 213439 |
| epstein-barr virus in somatic cell hybrids between mouse cells and human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. | somatic cell hybrids between mouse cells and cells derived directly from npc biopsies were produced in order to study the association of the epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome and the expression of epstein-barr nuclear antigen (ebna) with the human chromosome(s). all attempts to correlate the presence of ebv-dna and the expression of ebna with the presence of a particular human chromosome(s) showed that the segregation of ebv-dna or of ebna and human chromosomes was dysconcordant. the data, therefo ... | 1978 | 213442 |
| seroconversion against epstein-barr virus in two nonhuman primate species infected by the oropharyngeal route. | transforming epstein-barr virus (ebv) was inoculated into eight squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus) by spraying of viral concentrates into the nose and throat. virus was inoculated into three marmosets (two saguinus oedipus and one calithrix jacchus jacchus) by direct injection into nasopharyngeal tissue. two of these squirrel monkeys seroconverted after repeated inoculation as determined by the presence of ebv-specific antibodies to early antigen and viral capsid antigen. one squirrel monkey ha ... | 1978 | 213505 |
| intracisternal tubular inclusions in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. | biopsy specimens obtained from 20 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were examined under electronmicroscope for the presence of intracisternal tubular inclusions (iti). in eight (40 per cent) of them these inclusions could be identified. although the morphogenesis and significance of these iti are not clearly understood, they have been found in several autoimmune and viral diseases, including infectious mononucleosis, a disease caused by ebv, and burkitt's lymphoma, which is closely associated wi ... | 1978 | 213517 |
