چکیده

At least 90% of the sequences of purified, in vitro labeled, DNA from Epstein-Barr virus (prepared from HR-1, Burkitt's lymphoblastoid cells) are homologous to the DNA of the herpes virus contained in cell lines derived from patients with infectious mononucleosis. The thermal stability of the homologous and heterologous hybrid DNA molecules could not be differentiated, indicating at least 97% matching of base pairs between DNA of Epstein-Barr virus and the herpes viral DNA contained in the lymphoblasts from patients with infectious mononucleosis.

Human lymphoblastoid cell lines and Epstein-Barr virus: a review of their interrelationships and their relevance to the etiology of leukoproliferative states in man.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is a herpes-like virus found in continuous cultures of human leukocytic cells derived from certain tumors, from bone marrow and peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with diseases such as leukemia and infectious mononucleosis, and from the blood leukocytes of some normal persons. EBV was discovered in lymphoid cell cultures originating from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL...

Lymphoblastoid cell lines: a continuous in vitro source of cells to study carcinogen sensitivity and DNA repair

Obtaining a continuous source of normal cells or DNA from a single individual has always been a rate limiting step in biomedical research. Availability of Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) as a surrogate for isolated or cryopreserved peripheral blood lymphocytes has substantially accelerated the process of biological investigations. LCLs can be established by in vitro infection of resting B cell...

Mononucleosis? The recent announcement by the Doctors Henle of Philadelphia of the finding of an antibody against the EB virus in the sera of all cases of infectious mononucleosis ( TM ) studied’ was the source of some excitement in immunologic, oncologic, and hematologic circles. In a prime example of serendipity, the Henles, who were testing various sera for antibody to this newly-discovered ...
