[adenomegalic cytophagic sinusal histiocytosis. morphological and immunologic study of a case].the case of a 14-year-old boy of north-african origin, presenting a phagocytic sinus histiocytosis is reported. the main features of this now classical disease are illustrated: its localization to the neck, its chronicity, the fact that it is well tolerated, the pseudotumoral appearance of the adenomegaly as well as the intensive phagocytic (essentially lymphocytophagic) activity of the sinus macrophages. the bringing to light in a picture of hyperimmunity of an elevated percentage of antibodies ...1978205185
factors affecting serum iga antibody to epstein-barr viral capsid antigens in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.irrespective of the ethnic origin of the patient, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc), appears to stimulate the production of iga antibodies against vca. these antibodies are detected at high frequency and titres in sera from npc patients but only rarely from control subjects. a majority of relapse-free survivors tested 1-12 years after radiotherapy (rt) sustain a detectable level of iga anti-vca. serum titres of iga anti-vca remain relatively unchaged in individual npc patients after rt, regardless ...1978205232
an immunologic basis for detection of occult primary malignancies of the head and neck.after extensive evaluation of patients with metastatic neck disease and clinically undetectable primary cancer of the head and neck, the clinician is often faced with the difficult question of subsequent management. in this study, sera from 11 patients with clinically occult carcinoma and metastatic lymphadenopathy were studied for epstein-barr virus-associated antigens. these were compared with 35 sera from patients with known nasopharyngeal carcinoma at all stages of disease and treatment and ...1978205337

ocular granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) with acute myelomonocytic leukemia in turkish children.in a series of 166 leukemic children from turkey, 56 had acute myelomonocytic leukemia (amml). seventeen boys and 3 girls presented with chloroma-like deposits (granulocytic or myeloid sarcomas) in the eye and orbit, all showing amml on initial study of blood and marrow. the ocular lesions responded rapidly to antileukemic therapy. laboratory studies of amml cases revealed no cytogenetic or immune defects, and epstein-barr virus titers were normal. a group-specific (gs-3) antigen (type-c virus?) ...1978205341
characterization of a unique cell line (laz 221) from human acute lymphocytic ("null" cell) leukemia.a unique human cell line designated laz 221 has been established from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia of the "null" cell type. the cell line does not possess the epstein-barr virus nuclear antigen and has a karyotype of 45,xx,-9,-12,+(9q12q). both the established cell line and the patient's uncultured blast cells share the same phenotypic markers. they both lack t-cell markers. they fail to form sheep erythrocyte rosettes and do not react with t-cell-specific an ...1978205365
epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen in malignant epithelial cells of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.tumor tissue from lymph node metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) was successfully heterotransplanted into an athymic nude mouse and the tumor grown in the nude mouse was identical in its morphology to that form the patient by optical and electron microscopy. tumor cells at passage 2 were dispersed in vitro by enzymic digestion and smeared. epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) was demonstrated in malignant epithelial cells of the smear.1978205477

[hepatology and immunology].immunologic diseases of the liver are exogenous mostly initiated by virus or endogenous initiated by autoaggression. all virus-induced kinds of hepatitis are due to an immune response against inocculated hepatocytes. therefore the hepatitis is limited to the period of complete elimination of virus-infected cells. a strong immune response therefore corresponds with an acute and short hepatitis whilest a weak immune response develops a chronic hepatitis. in contrast, autoimmune hepatitis based on ...1978205495
heterophil antigen in bovine sera detectable by immune adherence hemagglutination with infectious mononucleosis sera.bovine sera for tissue culture use were shown to contain heterophil antigen of the paul-bunnell-davidsohn type by immune adherence hemagglutination tests with sera from patients with infectious mononucleosis. the antibody titers observed were comparable to those determined by two other methods; i.e., the immune adherence hemagglutination test was found to be as specific as the differential absorption test with horse erythrocytes or the ox cell hemolysis assay,but it appeared to be the most sensi ...1978205510

state of epstein-barr virus dna in an american burkitt's lymphoma line.a human lymphoma cell line, positive for the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen, was recently established from a north american burkitt's lymphoma. this cell line, su-amb-2, contained ebv dna both in the form of circular, nonintegrated dna molecules of viral genome length, present in multiple copies per cell, and as integrated sequences. having dna present in both of these forms, it resembled cell lines established from african burkitt's lymphomas. in studies on ebv strain diffe ...1978205666
integrated viral dna sequences in epstein-barr virus-converted human lymphoma lines.most human lymphoid cell lines contain multiple copies of circular, nonintegrated epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna molecules as well as viral dna sequences with properties of integrated dna. the physical state of the ebv dna in a human lymphoma line that only contains one virus genome equivalent per cell has now been studied by three different methods, neutral cscl density gradient centrifugation, actinomycin d-cscl gradient centrifugation, and hirt fractionation. this cell line, aw-ramos, has been ...1978205668

differences in expression of surface marker characteristics on epstein-barr virus-transformed human and simian lymphoid cell lines.human lymphoblastoid cell lines transformed in vitro by the epstein-barr virus (ebv) had receptors for fixed complement detectable by a rosette test. ebv transformed cells derived from cotton-topped marmoset leukocytes did not express this receptor. evidence is presented that both human and marmoset cell lines arose from precursor cells which have complement receptors. our findings suggest that transformation of marmoset leukocytes by ebv results in the loss of a differentiated surface marker.1978205852
characteristics of cell lines established from epstein-barr virus induced marmoset tumors.the inoculation of a cotton-topped marmoset with b95-8 strain of ebv resulted in the induction of a multifocal lymphoma and lymphoblastoid cell lines were established from liver, spleen and mesenteric lymph node tumors. the cell lines were remarkably similar to each other with respect to the presence of ebv and its expression, the surface properties of the cells and their stability, and the functional products of the cells. karyotypic examination of the cell lines revealed the common loss of a s ...1978205853
susceptibility of marmosets to epstein-barr virus-like baboon herpesviruses.epstein-barr virus (ebv)-like herpeviruses, strains of herpesvirus papio (hvp), have recently been isolated from lymphomatous (hvp-l) and from normal baboons (hvp-n). both hvp isolates infect some species of marmosets, hvp-l inoculated adult animals develop a mild to severe and sometimes fatal lymphoproliferative disease whereas newborn marmosets of the same species do not develop a measureable disease after inoculation with hvp-l. hvp-n infects adult marmosets but does not cause disease.1978205854

overview of viral oncology studies in saguinus and callithrix species.marmoset monkeys are highly susceptible to tumor induction by type c sarcoma viruses and primate lymphotropic herpeviruses. six experimental models were reviewed, three sarcoma models induced by rous, feline or simian sarcoma viruses and three models of lymphoproliferative disease induced by herpevirus saimiri, h. ateles or epstein-barr virus. relative susceptibility of cotton-topped (saguinus oedipus oedipus), white-lipped (s. nigricollis, s. fuscicollis subspecies) and commone (callithrix jacc ...1978205860
transforming activity of epstein-barr virus obtained by superinfection of raji cells.epstein-barr virus obtained by superinfection of raji cells with epstein-barr virus recovered from p3hr1 cells (hri virus) transformed human lymphocytes, but it did not superinfect raji cells. a human lymphoblastoid cell line, hlb, established by such transformation contained 22 epstein-barr virus genomes per cell and epstein-barr virus-associated nuclear antigen, and a few cells contained early or viral capsid antigen complexes. chromosomal analysis revealed that hlb-cells were diploid with nor ...1978205877

establishment of paired tumor cells and autologous virus-transformed cell lines to define humoral immune responses in melanoma and sarcoma patients.peripheral blood lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts from 12 cancer patients were infected with epstein-barr virus (ebv) or sv40 virus. the ebv-transformed lymphoblasts and sv40-transformed fibroblasts were grown as continuous cell lines and expressed the same histocompatibility antigens as tumor cell lines established from the same cancer patients. sera from 350 melanoma and 195 sarcoma patients were tested for antibody reactive with membrane antigens on three of these tumor cell lines (two melano ...1978204583
autoradiographic detection of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated early antigen in a variety of ebv dna-containing lymphoblastoid cell lines previously designated as nonproducers.by using autoradiography combined with 125i-labeled igg prepared from human sera containing high anti-ea (early antigen) antibody titers, ea has been detected in a low fraction of cells in a variety of ebv dna-containing cell lines previously designated as negative for this antigen. these positive cell lines are highly inducible for ea following treatment with iododeoxyuridine (iudr) and also contain multiple copies of the virus genome on average. the correlation between iudr inducibility and sp ...1978204604
partial purification and properties of the epstein-barr virus-associated nuclear antigen.the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-associated nuclear antigen (ebna) was purified 85-fold from a nuclear pellet derived from an ebv-transformed b lyphoblastoid cell line by a five-step procedure consisting of preparation of extract, heating at 80 degrees c in phosphate buffer, ammonium sulfate precipitation, preparative ultracentrifugation, and affinity chromatography on double-stranded dna-cellulose. the purified complement fixing antigen specifically blocked the anticomplement immunofluorescence ass ...1978204660
laboratory diagnosis of eb virus infection in some cases presenting as hepatitis.in 1975 and 1976, 7580 serum specimens were tested for hbsag by the passive haemagglutination test, hepanosticon. serum from 38 people gave a positive result after absorption with the absorbent provided, but the presence of hbsag could not be confirmed by other tests. tests for current infection with eb virus, namely, the presence of heterophil antibody and eb virus specific igm, were performed and were positive in 11 of the 38. in six of these the clinical picture was of hepatitis rather than i ...1978204666
production of antibody to tetanus toxoid by continuous human lymphoblastoid cell lines.peripheral lymphocytes from human volunteers boosted with tetanus toxoid were cultured after in vitro infection with epstein-barr virus. forty-four continuous lymphoblastoid lines were established which continued to secrete human gamma globulin; seven of these secreted antibody to tetanus toxoid. subcultures derived from limiting dilution experiments continued to secrete the antibody. some of these antibody-secreting cells have been in continuous culture for more than 6 months.1978204013

induction of ebna precedes the first cellular s-phase after ebv-infection of human lymphocytes.using a combination of immunofluorescence and autoradiography, we studied the appearance of ebna and dna synthesis in cord-blood lymphocytes after infection with ebv derived from the b95-8 cell line. ebna appeared between 12 and 25 h after addition of the virus. dna synthesis was detected in ebna-positive cells approximately 20 h after the appearance of ebna. this shows that ebna induction precedes the first cellular s-phase and suggests that the cells have not yet entered the cell-division cycl ...1978203544
infectious mononucleosis and the epstein-barr virus.recent elucidation of the relationship between the epstein-barr virus and infectious mononucleosis has resulted in the development of new diagnostic serological tests, and has amplified our knowledge of the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the disease. the history, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic features, and therapy of infectious mononucleosis are reviewed. this is done in the light of recent knowledge concerning the epstein-barr virus as well as previous studies empl ...1978203184
tonsillectomy and infectious mononucleosis.tonsillar tissue may be the primary site of infection with epstein-barr virus (ebv), the etiologic agent of classical infectious mononucleosis (im). therefore, a retrospective study of the association between tonsillectomy and im was performed in a college student population. in the first part of the study, tonsillectomy rates were compared between 164 im-positive students and 164 student controls who attended ucla in 1972-1975. although it was determined that the development of im during colleg ...1978203187

large-scale production and concentration of infectious epstein-barr virus.infectious epstein-barr virus (ebv) was produced from suspension cultures of p3hr-1 cells. a protocol for the scaled-up production and concentration of the virus was developed. virus from the culture fluid was concentrated by continuous-flow pelletization or continuous flow with banding in sucrose. ebv prepared by pelletization yielded 1.7 x 10(4) infectious units/ml (100 x concentration) and less than 3.4 x 10(7) evb particles/ml (1,000 x concentration), whereas ebv prepared by banding yielded ...1978203227
a new lymphoid cell line, reh 6, with characteristics of non-t and non-b cells, lacking the epstein-barr virus genome and derived from human acute lymphoblastic leukemia.a new lymphoid cell line, reh 6, has been established from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia. reh 6 cells were assayed for the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna by nucleic acid hybridization and for epstein-barr nuclear antigen (ebna) by the immunofluorescence test. reassociation kinetics between in vitro [3h]-labeled ebv dna and reh 6 cell dna indicated the absence of detectable amounts of ebv dna in reh 6 cell dna. in addition, attempts to detect ebna by ...1978202576
appearance of early and late components of epstein-barr virus-associated membrane antigen in daudi cells superinfected with p3hr-1 virus.this study investigated the synthesis of membrane antigen (ma) as well as virus capsid antigen (vca) and early antigen (ea) in daudi cells which had been superinfected with the p3hr-1 strain of epstein-barr virus (ebv) and then treated with trypsin to remove initially absorbed ma-positive material from the cell surface. synthesis of ma, vca and ea was completely inhibited by puromycin. a marked reduction in the frequency of ma positive cells was observed in superinfected cells cultured in the pr ...1978202665
cytofluorometry of lymphocytes infected with epstein-barr virus: effect of phosphonoacetic acid on nucleic acid.dna synthesis in epstein-barr virus (ebv)-infected lymphocytes was inhibited by phosphonoacetic acid (paa) as measured by [3h]thymidine incorporation. paa, at a concentration of 200 microgram/ml, inhibited [3h]thymidine incorporation by human umbilical cord lymphocytes infected with ebv strain p94 but had little effect on dna synthesis in mitogen-stimulated cells. transformed cell lines did not develop from infected cord cell cultures treated with 100 microgram of paa per ml. cytofluorometric an ...1978202732
radiobiological inactivation of epstein-barr virus.lymphocyte transforming properties of b95-8 strain epstein-barr virus (ebv) are very sensitive to inactivation by either uv or x irradiation. no dose of irradiation increases the transforming capacity of ebv. the x-ray dose needed for inactivation of ebv transformation (dose that results in 37% survival, 60,000 rads) is similar to the dose required for inactivation of plaque formation by herpes simplex virus type 1 (fischer strain). although herpes simplex virus is more sensitive than ebv to uv ...1978202757

immunovirologic assessment of american patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and occult primary tumors.the epstein-barr virus (ebv) is closely associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, suggesting an etiologic relationship. we have under-taken studies (1) to quantitate the relationship between antibody titers to ebv-associated antigens and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in american patients since most of the patients in previous studies were of either asian or african descent and (2) to determine the relationship between antibody titers and the clinical course of the disease. sera from patients with pri ...1978224361
surface markers and functional characteristics of human blood lymphocytes residing in the operational "null" subset.after removal of nylon wool-adherent b and e rosetting t cells from the human blood lymphocyte population, a small fraction remains, often denoted as "null" subset. this fraction contains lymphocytes which are highly efficient in antibody-dependent and non-selective lymphocyte cytotoxicity. these cells possess markers. about half of them carry fc receptors, and the majority has low avidity e and c3 receptors. removal of low avidity e receptor-carrying cells did not abolish cytotoxicity to k-562 ...1978231548
cancer, viruses and environmental factors.the genesis of burkitt's lymphoma is visualized as proceeding in three steps: i. primary ebv infection affects the young child, probably at a relatively high multiplicity. it immortalizes a certain number of b-lymphocytes in vivo. ii. this is followed by the impact of an environmental promoting agent, perhaps chronic holoendemic malaria, providing a chronic stimulus to the proliferation of the ebv-carrying preneoplastic cells. iii. chromosomally abnormal variants appear in the stimulated tissue ...1978231549

heterogeneity of epstein-barr virus. iv. induction of a specific antigen by ebv from two transformed marmoset cell lines in ramos cells.infection of cells of the ebv-genome-negative human b-lymphoma ramos line with viral isolates obtained from two ebv-transformed marmoset cell lines (b95/8; nyevu) resulted in the induction of a nuclear antigen (ram-ag) apparently different from other ebv-associated antigen complexes. this antigen is revealed by indirect immunofluorescence and shows no detectable cross-antigenicity with ebna or any other known ebv-associated antigen. ebv-isolates from p3hr-1 cells fail to induce a similar antigen ...197881181
cellular immunity in infectious mononucleosis. ii. specific reactivity to epstein-barr virus antigens and correlation with clinical and hematologic parameters.infectious mononucleosis (im) patients, epstein-barr virus (ebv)-seropositive and seronegative healthy donors, and patients with other viral infections were tested for lymphocyte blastogenesis (lb) with phytohemagglutinin and six ebv (virus concentrate, culture supernatant, and soluble [s] antigen) or control antigens. fluorescent antibodies to ebv viral capsid antigen of igg, igm, iga specificities, to nuclear antigen (ebna), and heterophile antibodies were also assayed. these were correlated w ...197881224
a novel surface antigen on lymphoid cells transformed by epstein-barr virus.a surface antigen (sa) was detected on ebv-carrying lymphoid cell lines by an indirect membrane immunofluorescence test with serum from rabbits immunized with raji cells; the antiserum had been extensively absorbed with normal human blood and tonsil cells. the sa was not detected on normal human umbilical-cord and adult peripheral blood lymphocytes or ebv-negative cell lines. the incidences of the sa and ebv-determined membrane antigen (ma) on certain ebv-carrying cell lines were not compatible. ...197887368
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
longitudinal study of epstein-barr virus antibody titers and excretion in pediatric patients with hodgkin's disease.nineteen pediatric patients with hodgkin's disease (hd) who had experienced primary epstein-barr virus (ebv) before, or in one case after, diagnosis, were studied longitudinally for changes in the titers and spectra of ebv-related antibodies, excretion of ebv into the oropharynx, the number of ebv-carrying lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood, and clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of reactivation of the latent virus. the incidence and geometric mean titers of igg antibodies to viral capsi ...197882539
study of epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) by chromatography on fixed cell nuclei.low ionic strength (50 to 100 mm nacl) and ph 6.0 were found to be optimal conditions for in vitro conversion of epstein-barr virus (ebv)-determined nuclear antigen (ebna)-negative nuclei to ebna-positive nuclei by addition of the complement-fixing (cf) antigen extracted from raji cells. in vitro conversion of nuclei to ebna-positively was sensitive to dnase but not to rnase treatment. this suggests that nuclear dna is a specific target substance to which ebv-cf antigen binds. if nuclei were fix ...197882540
somatic cell hybrids between human lymphoma cell lines. v. idurd inducibility and p3hr-1 superinfectability of daudi/hela (dad) and daudi/p3hr-1 (dip-1) cell lines.we have studied two types of somatic cell hybrid with regard to expression of the epstein-barr virus (ebv) cycle and its regulation. the first, dip-1, a hybrid formed between two human lymphoma ebv producers (daudi and p3hr-1), contained ebv dna, expressed the virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna), andwas a producer of the ebv-associated antigens ea (early antigen) and vca (viral capsid antigen). the second, dad, a hybrid series of clones formed between daudi and a hela cell derivative (d98), ...197882545
studies on epstein-barr virus-related antigens. iii. purification of the virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) from non-producer raji cells.the purification of epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) was attempted on the basis of its biochemical and physicochemical properties and its immunological specificity, assayed by the indirect single radial immunodiffusion test and anti-complement immunofluorescence absorption test. when non-producer raji cell extract was subjected to 20--60% saturated ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by dna-cellulose chromatography and immunoadsorbent chromatography, ebna was purified mo ...197882547
the association between undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and epstein-barr virus shown by correlated nucleic acid hybridization and histopathological studies.all of 51 undifferentiated carcinomas of the nasopharynx were ebv-dna-positive and, in the few tests performed, ebna-positive as well. most of these patients also had high anti-ebv [vca and ea (d)] antibody titres. of four patients that had somewhat differentiated npcs, two were ebv-dna-positive with a corresponding serological picture, whereas two were negative with an ebv serology comparable to that of healthy donors. of seven lymphomas localized in the nasopharynx, one was ebv-dna-positive an ...197883285

epstein-barr virus infections in the x-linked recessive lymphoproliferative syndrome.prospective studies demonstrated variable phenotypic expression of the x-linked recessive lymphoproliferative syndrome (x.l.r.l.s.) in three brothers: (1) hypogammaglobulinaemia and subclinical epstein-barr-virus (e.b.v.) infection with antibody response to e.b.v.; (2) e.b.v. infection with defective immune response to e.b.v., fatal infectious mononucleosis (i.m.), and immunoblastic lymphoma; and (3) histiocytic lymphoma. hypogammaglobulinaemia and measles pneumonitis had preceded infection with ...197885816
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
abortive growth of human lymphocytes carrying a dormant epstein-barr viral genome.when p3hr-1 lymphoblastoid cells expressing epstein-barr virus (ebv)-related antigens at very low frequency were cocultivated with human umbilical cord blood lymphocytes and the cell-free mixed culture fluid was applied to fresh cord lymphocytes, cells morphologically distinct from normal lymphocytes became evident after one to two weeks' exposure. the abnormal cells became abundant after one month and were easily identified by b-cell markers and a variety of morphologic abnormalities. such abno ...197845600
