Transforming activity of Epstein-Barr virus obtained by superinfection of Raji cells.

چکیده
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 normal female karyotypes. Replication of Epstein-Barr virus DNA and inhibition of host cell DNA synthesis were observed in HLB cells after superinfection with HR1 virus.

THE IN VITRO GROWTH PROPERTIES OF CELL LINES FROM EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS-INDUCED TAMARIN TUMORS AND TAMARIN B CELLS TR ANSFORMED BY EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS
EBV-carrying human cell lines, depending on whether the cells are derived from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) tumor biopsies or transformed by EBV in vitro, have different growth properties in vitro. In contrast, there are no clear differences between tamarin tumor lines and tamarin LCLs in vitro. Both types of tamarin cell lines could grow in agarose and formed colonies unlike human LCLs, althoug...
متن کاملStudies of the Epstein-Barr virus receptor found on Raji cells. I. Extraction of receptor and preparation of anti-receptor antibody.
Raji, a human lymphoblastoid cell line, expresses a membrane receptor (EBVR) specific for Epstein Barr virus (EBV). A component that binds EBV was extracted from this cell line by treatment of the cells for 3 hr on ice with Tris buffer containing 10% glycerol. The treatment reduced the capacity of the cells to bind virus, and after concentration the receptor extract (RE) inhibited both EBV bind...
متن کاملCell surface markers on epithelial-Burkitt hybrid cells superinfected with Epstein-Barr virus.
Attempts were made to superinfect two epithelial-Burkitt hybrid cell lines, designated D98/HR-1 and D98/Raji, with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and to investigate the expression of some cell surfacr markers including histocompatibility antigens, and the presence of B-cell markers, such as receptors for the third complement component and for monkey red blood cells. Successful superinfection of D98/H...
متن کاملMetabolic activation of 9([2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl)guanine in human lymphoblastoid cell lines infected with Epstein-Barr virus.
9-([2-Hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl)guanine (BW B759U) is more potent and has a more prolonged inhibitory effect against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in vitro than does acyclovir (ACV). To assess the mechanism of this difference, we first compared the extent of phosphorylation of the two drugs in superinfected Raji cells. BW B759U is phosphorylated to levels 100-fold higher than is ACV. In...
متن کاملThe spontaneous and induced synthesis of Epstein-Barr virus antigens in Raji cells immobilized on surface coated with anti-lymphocyte globulin.
Immobilization of Raji cells on surface coated with anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG) at low cell densities lead to the synthesis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early antigen (EA) in up to 5% of the cells. At higher cell densities the percentage of antigen-positive cells decreased and at confluency no antigen synthesis was observed. Addition of iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) to low density cultures increas...
