Seropidemiology of Epstein – Barr virus infection among asymptomatic
Introduction: Epstein – Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus which establishes a persistent life-long infection in over 95% of adults world wide. Infection is usually asymptomatic but the virus is associated with a variety of disease, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), Multiple sclerosis MS, EBV-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disease (BLPD), Hodgkin and non...
متن کاملInduced by Infection with Epstein-Barr Virus
Metabolically labeled monoclonal antibodies were used to measure the number of determinants per cell for an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) cell surface antigen (EBVCS) (C. Kintner and B. Sugden, Nature [London] 294:458-460, 1981) which is expressed on the surface of EBV-transformed cells. The antigenic determinants were present approximately 5 x 105 times per in vitro-transformed cell. Immunoprecipit...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus infection mechanisms
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection occurs by distinct mechanisms across different cell types. EBV infection of B cells in vitro minimally requires 5 viral glycoproteins and 2 cellular proteins. By contrast, infection of epithelial cells requires a minimum of 3 viral glycoproteins, which are capable of interacting with one or more of 3 different cellular proteins. The full complement of proteins...
متن کاملElevated IgA antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in children with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies were tested in 11 children with chronic active EBV infection. Anti-virus capsid antigen (VCA)-IgG antibody titers ranged from 1:640 to 1:10,240. Anti-VCA-IgM antibody was consistently positive in 5 of the 11 patients; anti-VCA-IgA antibody was consistently positive in 6 of the 10 patients; anti-early antigen (EA)-IgG antibody was consistently positive in...
متن کاملSexual history and Epstein-Barr virus infection.
To determine the role of sexual contact in transmission of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and occurrence of infectious mononucleosis (IM), a cross-sectional study was undertaken of EBV serologic testing and histories of IM and sexual behavior among 1006 new students at Edinburgh University. Prevalence of EBV seropositivity was significantly greater among women (79.2%) than among men (67.4%; P<.001) a...
