| establishment in continuous culture of a new type of lymphocyte from a "burkitt like" malignant lymphoma (line d.g.-75). | the isolation and establishment in vitro of a hitherto undescribed type of lymphocyte designated d.g.-75 is reported. the original inoculum was derived from the pleural effusion of a child with a primary abdominal lymphoma, which clinically and histologically resembled burkitt's lymphoma. in addition to the absence of the ebv genome and ebv receptors, this line possesses a number of other properties which distinguish it from previously described lymphoblastoid cell lines. it has different growth ... | 1977 | 188769 |
| a case control study on immunity to two epstein-barr virus-associated antigens, and to herpes simplex virus and adenovirus in a population-based group of patients with hodgkin's disease in denmark, 1971-73. | one hundred and eighty-five patients with untreated hodgkin's disease (hd) comprising 86% of all new cases diagnosed in denmark over a 2-year period, were individually matched with healthy controls of the same age, sex, and social class. in comparison to controls, hd patients showed significantly elevated mean antibody titres to epstein-barr viral capsid antierences in mean titres were found for adenovirus common antigen. subdivision of the patients by age, sex, social class, hl-a antigens, stag ... | 1977 | 188770 |
| elevated parainfluenza virus type 1 antibody in patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. | parainfluenza virus hemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibodies were determined 3 times in the sera of 9 patients with subacute sclerosiing panencephalitis (sspe) and 20 healthy controls matched for age and place of residence. serum antibody against parainfluenza virus type 1 was significantly elevated in sspe patients as compared with controls, whereas antibodies against type 2 and 3 were found to be in normal ranges. higher titres of parainfluenza virus type 1 antibody might depend on: (1) dua ... | 1977 | 188993 |
| synthesis of epstein-barr virus dna in vitro: effects of phosphonoacetic acid, n-ethylmaleimide, and atp. | nuclei from superinfected raji cells synthesized epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna in vitro in the absence of cell dna synthesis. the synthesis of ebv dna in vitro was inhibited by phosphonoacetic acid and n-ethylmaleimide, and maximum synthesis was achieved in the absence of an atp-regenerating system. nuclei from mock-infected cells required an atp-regenerating system for maximum dna synthesis. | 1977 | 189079 |
| infectious mononucleosis in children. evaluation of epstein-barr virus-specific serological data. | epstein-barr virus (ebv)-specific antibody responses were determined in 43 consecutive pediatric patients who had signs and symptoms of inectious mononucleosis (im) and positive diagnostic tests for mononucleosis (monspot). thirty patients gave clear-cut serologic evidence of primary ebv infections; of the remaining 13 patients, seven had no antibodies to ebv in the acute- or convalescent-phase sera and six showed serologic patterns of past ebv infections. further testing proved that the initial ... | 1977 | 189099 |
| nasopharyngeal carcinoma and epstein-barr virus. iii. the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies. | the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies (ana) has been studied in 433 sera from 305 patients with anaplastic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) in taiwan, by means of indirect fluorescent antibody method. another 134 sera from normal adults or from patients with other diseases served as controls. patients with npc showed positive rate of 23.1%. forty-two patients with other malignant and 25 patients with benign tumors of the head and neck showed positive rates of 9.5% and 8.0%, respectively. forty-e ... | 1976 | 189106 |

| hodgkin's disease in siblings: a family study. | hodgkin's disease may sporadically occur in more than one member of a family. a family in which two siblings were documented to have the nodular sclerosing form of the disease was studied for immunological competency, distribution of hl-a antigens, and epstein-barr virus (ebv) antibody titers. all family members examined, except the living individual with hd, had no significant abnormality in humoral and cellular immunity. hl-a antigens previously reported to appear in hodgkin's disease with inc ... | 1976 | 189264 |
| [antibodies against the epstein-barr virus nuclear-antigen in children with malignant disease (author's transl)]. | sera of 25 patients and 50 health children were tested for the presence of antibodies against the epstein-barr virus nuclear-antigen (ebna). we examined 15 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, who showed a mean arithmatic titer of 1 : 5.33, 1 child with acute myeloblastic leukemia and 1 child with the chronic myeloblastic form showing no reactivity. two children with lymphogranuloma had titers 1 : 16 and 1 : 32, respectively. 1 patient with lymphoepithelial carcinoma and 5 with lymphosarcom ... | 1976 | 189271 |
| transient induction of a nuclear antigen unrelated to epstein-barr nuclear antigen in cells of two human b-lymphoma lines converted by epstein-barr virus. | infection of cells of the epstein-barr virus (ebv)-negative human b-lymphoma lines bjab and ramos with ebv preparations from p3hr-1 or b 95-8 cells converted these cells to ebv genome carriers expressing epstein-barr nuclear antigen (ebna) in almost 100% of these cells. induction of these cells as well as of clones from p3hr-1 ebv-converted bjab cells with iododeoxyuridine, aminopterin, and hypoxanthine resulted in the appearance of a nuclear antigen in about 1-6% of the cells 1-4 days after ind ... | 1977 | 189313 |
