The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous Herpes virus which causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with such different neoplasms as Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. EBV latently infects its target cells; nevertheless, evidence of viral replication in NPC tumours has be
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
The incidence of antibodies to Epstein-Barr nucleair antigen type 2 (EBNA-2) was determined in sera from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and control subjects, by protein immunoblotting. Sixty-eight percent of the RA patients and 48% of the controls possessed anti-EBNA-2 antibodies. The titer of a
