Epstein-Barr virus transformed B lymphocytes produce interleukin-5.
Interleukin-5 (IL-5) has previously been isolated only as a product of T lymphocytes. We have found that Epstein-Barr virus transformed B lymphocytes produce large amounts of IL-5 activity in culture supernatants, inducing proliferation of murine BCL1 cells, and supporting the selective growth of eosinophil colonies in semi-solid culture. Production of IL-5 messenger RNA by transformed B-cell l...
متن کاملViral and cellular DNA synthesis in nuclei from human lymphocytes transformed by Epstein-Barr virus.
A DNA-synthesizing system in vitro, using nuclei prepared by treatment of human lymphocytes with the detergent Brij 58, was developed. Nuclei from cultured lymphocytes synthesized DNA for as long as 5 hr, and required ATP, deoxynucleoside triphosphates, magnesium, and a calcium chelator. In nuclei from a partially synchronized line of cultured lymphocytes carrying several hundred copies of the ...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus Transformation Induces B Lymphocytes
Interleukin 10 (I1.10) is a pleiotropic factor that enhances proliferation of activated human B lymphocytes and induces them to secrete high amounts of immunoglobulins. Here we show that several human B cell lines were able to constitutively secrete human (h)Ibl0. Whereas none of the pre-B nor the plasmocytic cell lines tested produced hi1-10, 25 of the 36 tested mature B cell lines (lymphoblas...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Epstein-Barr virus activation of human B lymphocytes
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) will infect at least every third cell if exposed in vitro to an extensively purified B cell population from human peripheral blood. About 10% of such infected cells will be driven into immunoglobulin synthesis and secretion, as judged by the indirect protein A plaque assay. The appearance of EB nuclear antigen, de novo DNA synthesis, and immunoglobulin secretion are lin...
متن کاملDifferential DNA methylation profiles of human B lymphocytes and Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized B lymphocytes.
Objective This study aimed to comprehensively assess Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced methylation alterations of B cell across whole genome. Methods We compared DNA methylation patterns of primary B cells and corresponding lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from eight participants. The genome-wide DNA methylation profiles were compared at over 850,000 genome-wide methylation sites. Results DN...
