Quantitative analysis of the cooperative effect between inducers of Epstein-Barr virus antigen synthesis.

چکیده
Induction of Epstein-Barr virus antigens in Raji cells by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), 5'-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR), n-butyric acid (n-BA) antibody to IgM (anti-IgM) and a recently described serum factor was studied after single applications of individual inducers or of their combinations. Whereas individual inducers led to activation only in a limited number of cells, certain combinations of inducers greatly enlarged the reactive cell population. In synergistically acting combinations of drugs, the dose necessary for half-maximal induction of the first inducer was shifted to a much lower value by the second inducer. The serum factor cooperated with any of the four inducers TPA, IUdR, anti-IgM and n-butyric acid, whereas TPA only interacted with IUdR and n-butyric acid. The effects of the serum factor and of TPA showed some similarities but were not identical, whereas IUdR and n-BA showed identical effects.

متن کاملSeropidemiology 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...

Background: The present study sought to investigate molecular evidence for association between the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in CRC and colorectal polyp by using the PCR method in Iran. Methods: In this analytical case-control study, we selected 15 patients with CRC, 20 patients with colorectal polyp, and 35 patients without mali...
متن کاملEffect of indomethacin on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen induction.
The lymphoid cell line, Raji, was derived from a Burkitt's lymphoma and is readily inducible for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early antigen synthesis by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Treatment of Raji and other EBV genome-positive cells with indomethacin caused a marked inhibition of early antigen induction by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and other chemical induce...

Background: Breast cancer is the malignancy in humans and other mammals. Several risk factors are involved in their appearance such as higher hormone levels and obesity. Identification of a mouse mammary tumor virus supports a viral etiology for breast tumors in animals. Viruses have been implicated in the development of various cancers, but viral induction for formation breast cancer is contro...
