The level of Epstein-Barr (EB) virus-specific cytotoxic T cell responsiveness was measured in 21 patients with active, progressive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A significant number (8 out of 20) of EB virus sero-positive patients showed a markedly impaired responsiveness when compared with a control g

Pannus extracts and/or cells and tissues from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and controls were tested for the presence of RA-associated nuclear antigen (RANA), anti-RANA, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific antigens, and EBV genomes. Using our present rather insensitive methods, RANA was rarely de
## Abstract Epstein‐barr virus genome‐positive Burkitt's lymphoma is endemic in Africa and Papua New Guinea and in both countries the tumour is restricted to regions with holoendemic malaria. The present work has compared groups of healthy indigenous individuals living in malarious and non‐malariou
Several reports have shown a defective Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific suppressor T cell function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), suggesting that EBV may have a role in the pathogenesis of RA. EBV-specific T cell regulation was studied in 47 EBV-immune RA patients and in 14 EBV-immune control subjec
