evidence for antigenic distinctness of the epstein--barr virus-determined nuclear antigen and the herpesvirus papio-determined nuclear antigen.previous serological evidence indicated that epstein--barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) has cross reactive components with the herpesvirus papio-determined nuclear antigen (hupna) and, in addition, it has distinct components of its own, not present in hupna. in the present study, this hypothesis was studied by absorption experiments. absorption of anti-ebna positive human sera with ebna abolished both anti-ebna and anti-hupna reactivity. absorption with hupna removed all anti-hupna re ...197988257
abrogation of cell-mediated immunity by a serum blocking factor isolated from patients with infectious mononucleosis.lymphocytes from 80% of patients with infectious mononucleosis in this study failed to produce macrophage migration-inhibition factor in response to partially purified early antigen of epstein-barr virus or to tetanus toxoid, whereas lymphocytes from normal subjects did produce this lymphokine. subsequent analysis of serum from the patients with infectious mononucleosis revealed a serum factor that completely abrogated antigen-specific inhibition of migration by human leukocytes as well as lymph ...197988489

thymidine sensitivity of cultured leukaemic lymphocytes.cultured leukaemic lymphocytes from patients with t, null, or pre-b acute lymphoblastic leukaemia are shown to be highly sensitive to growth inhibition by thymidine. thymidine sensitivity was correlated with reduced activity of the catabolic enzyme thymidine phosphorylase and sustained elevation of the deoxythymidine triphosphate pool after exposure to thymidine. it is suggested that thymidine may have a role in the management of certain acute lymphoblastic leukaemias of lymphomas.197989451
reciprocal 8;14 translocation in ebv-negative b-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia with burkitt-type cells.a cytogenetic study, including prophase-prometaphase chromosome analysis, of a patient with ebv-genome-negative acute lymphocytic leukemia of b-cell type with burkitt-type cells is presented. all bone-marrow mitoses examined had a 14q+ marker chromosome which was identified as a reciprocal 8;14 translocation of exactly the same type as in burkitt's lymphoma.197990020
increased tendency to spontaneous in-vitro lymphocyte transformation in clinically active multiple sclerosis.lymphocytes from 8 of 10 patients with clinically active multiple sclerosis (ms) but from only 3 of 18 patients with quiescent ms and 4 of 20 healthy donors transformed spontaneously on in-vitro culture. the transformed cells from all donors had the characteristics of b lymphocytes (surface and intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin and complement receptors) and carried antigens of epstein-barr virus. it is suggested that these results are further evidence that immunoregulation in active ms is abnormal ...197990801
site of epstein-barr virus replication in the oropharynx.cells and cell-free material in saliva, parotid secretions, and throat washings from patients with acute infectious mononucleosis and patients undergoing tonsillectomy were assayed for the presence of infectious epstein-barr (ebv) virus. the agent was invariably present in cell-free form in saliva; neither infectious virus nor viral antigens were found in the cells. tonsillar lymphocytes from eight patients were also free of ebv. in 10 of 40 patients virus was recovered in secretions from paroti ...197991888
establishment of a lymphoblastoid cell line and isolation of an epstein-barr-related virus of gorilla origin.a b-lymphoid cell line was established from a normal gorilla. the cells contained epstein-barr virus-related antigens, and herpesvirus particles were demonstrated by electron microscopy. dna-dna reassociation kinétics revealed 30 to 40% hybridization to epstein-barr virus with 50 genomes per cell. examination of the viral nuclear antigen with gorilla sera showed this to be a unique isolate termed herpesvirus gorilla. h. gorilla transformed gibbon b-lymphocytes in vitro.197992573
correlation between epstein-barr virus membrane antigen and three large cell surface glycoproteins.a correlation between epstein-barr virus membrane antigen (ma) and three surface glycoproteins has been established on the basis of radio-immunoprecipitation and immunoabsorption experiments. for radio-immunoprecipitation, epstein-barr virus-infected cells were radiolabeled either with neuraminidase-galactose oxidase tritiated borohydride, a procedure highly specific for surface glycoproteins, or with a general tritiated amino acid mixture. intact cells were incubated with ma(-) or ma(+) human s ...197992577

[epstein-barr virus associated burkitt's lymphoma in a french child (author's transl)].pathologic diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, burkitt type, was made in a 12 year old child with an abdominal tumour. the association of this lymphoma with epstein-barr virus was done based on the detection of epstein-barr viral markers within the tumour cells, as well as on the patient's serology. to our knowledge, it is the first time that the association between burkitt's lymphoma and epstein-barr virus, which is frequent in africa, is reported in a caucasian french.197993275
epstein-barr virus-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in patients with burkitt's lymphoma.coded sera from 54 patients with african burkitt's lymphoma (bl) were titrated for antibodies against an epstein-barr virus (ebv)-induced membrane antigen in the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (adcc) assay. the titers were then correlated with the progression of lymphoma growth following chemotherapy. in 74% of the patients with high adcc titers (greater than 3,840), lymphomas showed partial or complete regression following therapy. in the medium-titered group (240-3,840), 36% of the l ...197993578
abortive expression of the epstein-barr virus (ebv) cycle in a variety of ebv dna-containing cell lines, as reflected by nucleic acid hybridization in situ.a variety of epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna-containing cell lines have been tested for the expression of the ebv-associated antigens ebna (nuclear antigen), ea (early antigen), and vca (viral capsid antigen), and for the presence of cells containing disproportionate amounts of ebv dna. the antigen tests utilized immunofluorescence and 125i-labelled antibodies combined with autoradiography. ebv-dna was detected by in situ hybridization with 3h-labelled ebv rna complementary to p3hr-1 ebv dna (p-ebv ...197993584
the simultaneous observations of immunofluorescence and cellular morphology in viral infections: a new procedure.a simple method for comparative observations of immunofluorescence and cellular morphology has been developed in the investigation of epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection and oncogenesis. when cells were stained for immunofluorescence of ebv-determined nuclear antigen, early antigens, or the viral capsid antigen, followed by treatment with hematoxylin, viral marker expression and cellular morphology could be simultaneously observed in individual cells by simply changing ultraviolet illumination to ...197895789
establishment of specific antibody producing human lines by antigen preselection and epstein-barr virus (ebv)-transformation.specific antibody producing human cell lines were established by preselecting antigen binding b-lymphocytes and subsequently transforming ("immortalizing") them with epstein-barr virus (ebv). nnp-binding b-cells were isolated from the blood of three donors with high anti-nnp titers. ebv-transformation led to polyclonal cell lines that had 15-18% nnp receptor positive cells. a similar fraction of the cells produced nnp-specific plaques in the cunningham-szenberg assay. unconcentrated culture medi ...197995800
herpesvirus papio: state and properties of intracellular viral dna in baboon lymphoblastoid cell lines.herpesvirus papio (hvp) is an indigenous b-lymphotropic virus of baboons (papio sp.) present in latent form in baboon lymphoblastoid cell lines. it shares cross-reacting viral capsid and early antigens with the epstein-barr virus (ebv), and hvp dna and ebv dna show partial sequence homology. ebv-specific complementary rna was employed here as a probe to investigate the physical state of the hvp dna component in baboon lymphoblastoid cells after fractionation of cellular dna by density gradient c ...1979113352
liver disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis and kidney transplantation.liver dysfunction was observed in 33% of patients treated by hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. fifty-eight percent of these cases of hepatitis occurred in patients with past or present hbs antigenemia, and 77% of hbsag-positive patients showed evidence of ld. however, during the course of a program conducted from 1969 to 1976 and involving 267 patients, the decrease in the prevalence of hbs antigenemia observed during the last two years did not lead to any reduction in ld incidence. in a ...1979115244
[classification of malignant lymphomas of the neck: combined morphological, immunocytological, serological and tissues culture studies (author's transl)].81 untreated malignant lymphomas of the neck were classified morphologically according to the german kiel classification and to the american classification of rappaport and berard and these tumors were typed immunologically as to their t- or b-cell nature. cells from 16 of these patients were subsequently grown in tissue culture for periods up to seven months. tissue culture cells were monitored as to spontaneous variations in the morphologic cell type and to the expression of t- or b-cell surfa ...1976136561
comparison of the stimulating capacity of human leukemia t-cell, null cell, and b-cell lines in mixed lymphoma culture.one-way mixed lymphocyte reactions between lymphocytes from normal human donors and mitomycin c-treated cells from human leukemia t-cell, null cell, and b-cell lines were investigated. an epstein-barr virus (ebv)-negative japanese burkitt's lymphoma line and two ebv-positive normal lymphoid cell lines were studied in parallei. normal lymphocytes were stimulated significantly by the cultured null cells and b-cells, but only slightly by the cultured t-cells. the stimulatory capacity of these two l ...1978147348
phosphofructokinase in human blood cells.the subunit composition of phosphofructokinase from normal and malignant blood cells has been investigated by means of immunologic, electrophoretic, and chromatographic methods. immunoprecipitation tests were performed with three specific antisera recognizing each of the basic subunits of human phosphofructokinase: muscle, m-type; liver, l-type; and fibroblast, f-type. mature polymorphonuclear cells contain mainly l-subunits, while lymphocytes and platelets contain hybrids formed of l and f subu ...1979156568
establishment and characterization of human b-lymphocytic lymphoma cell lines (balm-3, -4 and -5); intraclonal variation in the b-cell differentiation stage.this study describes the establishment of three non-burkitt b-lymphoma cell lines (balm-3, balm-4 and balm-5) originating from the pleural effusion of a patient with a poorly differentiated diffuse lymphocytic lymphoma. the cells of balm-3, -4 and -5 exhibited a number of properties which distinguish them from the usual b-cell type lymphoblastoid cell lines. thus, they lacked the epstein-barr virus genome and had abnormal chromosome constitutions including a 14q+ marker. the presence of the iden ...1979160894
induction of permanently proliferating human lymphoblastoid lines by n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine.n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine treatment of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells increases the frequency of lymphocyte transformation into permanently proliferating lines. the transformation is dependent on the dose of n-methyl-n-7-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine and does not occur in the presence of autologous human serum. thirty-eight of the forty-two established lines resulting fron n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine treatment produced detectable epstein-barr virus antigens.1975162872
primary epstein-barr-virus infections in acute neurologic diseases.infectious mononucleosis has been associated with guillain--barré syndrome, bell's palsy, meningoencephalitis and transverse myelitis. since it is not known that many children with infectious mononucleosis do not develop heterophil antibodies, we looked for evidence of current or recent epstein-barr virus infection in young patients with these neurologic diseases by using serodiagnostic procedures for detection and titration of antibodies to various antigens related to epstein-barr virus. seven ...1975163004

viral and cellular dna synthesis in nuclei from human lymphocytes transformed by epstein-barr virus.a dna-synthesizing system in vitro, using nuclei prepared by treatment of human lymphocytes with the detergent brij 58, was developed. nuclei from cultured lymphocytes synthesized dna for as long as 5 hr, and required atp, deoxynucleoside triphosphates, magnesium, and a calcium chelator. in nuclei from a partially synchronized line of cultured lymphocytes carrying several hundred copies of the epstein-barr viral genome, synthesis in vitro was predominately viral in early s phase and cellular in ...1975166387
epstein-barr virus: comparison of different strains for their biological activities in vitro.several sources of epstein-barr virus (ebv) were tested for the ability to superinfect raji cells or to transform human cord blood leukocytes. ebv prepared from p3hr-1 cells showed only the ability to superinfect raji cells whereas ebv from qimr-wil cells from a cell line (cru-l1) derived from an infectious mononucleosis (im) patient or virus from throat washings from im patients transformed human cord blood leukocytes, but did not superinfect raji cells.1975166422
cellular cooperation in transformation by eb virus.human lymphoid cells transformed by epstein-barr (eb) virus are thought to be b-lymphocytes. transformation of human mononuclear leukocytes by epstein-barr virus was decreased or lost by removing adhering or nonadhering mononuclear cells from the mixtures of peripheral blood leukocytes but was not decreased by removing t-lymphocytes. recombining adherent and nonadherent mononuclear cells without t-lymphocytes restored transformability, but conditioned medium from cultures of adherent cells did n ...1975166423
eb virus-associated nuclear antigen production and cell proliferation in adult peripheral blood leukocytes inoculated with the qimr-wil strain of eb virus.a nuclear antigen, apparently the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen (ebna), was detected by anticomplement immunofluorescence (acif) tests in adult peripheral blood leukocytes infected with the qimr-wil strain of ebv. ebna was not detectable at 24 h but appeared in about 11% of the cells by 3 days, and by 5 days up to 64% of the cells were positive. proliferation of ebna-positive cells at this stage was confirmed by autoradiography. there was a good correlation between the conc ...1975166936
the detection of the epstein-barr virus (ebv) nuclear antigen (ebna) by anticomplement immunofluorescence. immunoglobulin class of antibodies and role of complement.the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen (ebna) was detected by anti-complement immunofluorescence (acif) in raji lymphoblastoid cell line, and the mechanism of the reaction explored, using ig fractions of anti-ebna sera and purified components of complement. following fractionation of serum from 13 donors, anti-ebna antibodies were always found to be associated with igg, but were also detectable in the igm fraction of four sera. sequential addition of functionally pure complement ...1975166939
immunofluorescence and anti-complement immunofluorescence absorption tests for quantitation of epstein-barr virus-associated antigens.immunofluorescence absorption methods are described which permit quantitative estimation and differentiation of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated antigens (virus capsid antigen, vca, early antigen, ea and ebv-determined nuclear antigen, ebna) in cell extracts. ebna was present in all cell lines (producer and non-producer) which carried the ebv-genome, while vca and ea were present in producer lines only. all the antigens were absent from a lymphoid cell line (molt-4) which lacked the ebv-genom ...1975166941
studies of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen. i. assay in human lymphoblastoid cell lines by direct and indirect determination of 125i-igg binding.a quantitative assay for ebna in human lymphoblastiod cell lines has been developed. the assay employs ebna-positive and -negative 125-i-igg preparations as reagents and can be used in a direct or indirect manner. ebna specificity has been demonstrated in a number of ways. the antigenic relationship between ebna present in raji cells and in a number of other human lymphoblastiod cell lines of diverse origins and between the cell-associated antigen present in ft raji cells and that present in is ...1975166942
antibody patterns to herpesviruses in kaposi's sarcoma: serological association of european kaposi's sarcoma with cytomegalovirus.sera from patients with kaposi's sarcoma (ks) were examined for antibody titres to cytomegalovirus (cmv), epstein-barr virus (ebv) and herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2 by four techniques: indirect haemagglutination (iha), complement fixation (cf), virus neutralization (nt) and indirect immunofluorescence (if). the patients were classified, according to the stage of disease, as progressive and regressive. control sera were obtained from healthy adults, matched for age, sex, race, socioeco ...1975166949

assay for epstein-barr virus based on stimulation of dna synthesis in mixed leukocytes from human umbilical cord blood.relationships between the rate of dna synthesis in cultured human umbilical cord leukocytes and the multiplicity of added epstein-barr virus (ebv) were studied. at low multiplicities of approximately 0.1 transforming units/cell (approximately 10 physical particles/cell), inoculated cultures demonstrated increased rates of dna synthesis, by comparison to uninoculated cultures, 3 days after inoculation. stimulation of dna synthesis was evident of progressively longer intervals after inoculations o ...1975167182
newer knowledge in comparative virology--its contribution to human health research.like other comparative sciences, and despite its recent beginning comparative virology has already contributed useful applications and observations to human health research. teachings derived from the study of marek's disease found application in that of burkitt's lymphoma, and may lead to a possible vaccine against the human disease. equally useful information came from the study of canine distemper in the development of a chorio-allantoic membrane attenuated measles vaccine, and in our knowled ...1975167504
[pass-way of epstein-barr virus in the abortive infection of human lymphoid cells (author's transl)].biologically active, 3-h-thymidine-labeled epstein-barr virus has been purified by a method, specifically developed for these experiments, and used to infect the human lymphoid cell lines nc37 and raji. at a late stage of this abortive infection (after 40 hr), 3-h-dna has been recovered from the nuclei of the infected cells. this dna has the density and size of free viral dna. no evidence for integration was observed, in that less than 0,5 viral genome per cell had become covalently bound to cel ...1975167537
