چکیده
An Epstein-Barr virus like herpesvirus has been isolated from a lymphoid cell line derived from an orangutan with spontaneous myelomonocytic leukemia. Herpesvirus has not previously been isolated from this species of higher ape.

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 کاملEstablishment of a new Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized cell line from chronic lymphocytic leukemia with trisomy of chromosome 12 that produces monoclonal IgM against a sheep RBC antigen.
Leukemia cells from a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were found to bind sheep RBC (SRBC) through their monoclonal surface IgM. A lymphoblastoid cell line was obtained by immortalization of leukemic cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Cultured leukemic cells were found to have a supernumerary chromosome 12, an abnormality typical of CLL of the B cell type. To our knowledge, thi...
متن کاملEstablishment of a New Epstein - Barr Virus - Immortalized Cell Line From Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia With Trisomy of Chromosome 12
C HRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CLL) B cells are, in general, highly refractory to transformation by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV),’ and therefore, relatively few EBV-immortalized cell lines originating from CLL cells have been described.’4 In this paper we report the establishment of a novel EBV-transformed B cell line from the leukemic cells of a CLL patient that expressed surface u immunoglobulin....

متن کاملImmunophenotyping of Nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas and its Association with Epstein-Barr Virus
Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...
