Abstract

Lymphocytes from Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) seronegative donors were either stimulated with Protein A or infected with EBV and cultured in growth medium containing a range of calcium levels (700 μM to <2 μM available calcium). Three calcium end‐points for the proliferation of B lymphocytes were defined: 18 M for mitogenicallystimulated B cells; 8 μM for a pre‐12 h event in EBV transformation and <2 μM for a post‐12 h event in EBV transformation resembling the end‐point for the emergent lymphoblastoid cell line. EBV‐infected lymphocytes cultured in calcium‐depleted medium expressed the EB virus nuclear antigen and proliferated after addition of calcium chloride. The present study should be useful both in defining the sequence of events in EBV transformation and in studying properties specific to the transformed phenotype.

The regulation of interleukin (1L)-2 gene expression has been investigated mainly in T lymphocytes, the predominant producers of IL-2. However, B cells can also synthesize IL-2. In the present study we analyzed the control of IL-2 promoter activity in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B cell clon

## Abstract Human cord‐blood lymphocytes were infected with B95.8 Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) before and after separation into B‐ and T‐cell populations. Lymphoblastoid cells exhibiting B‐cell characteristics appeared after 2 to 3 days of culture in the total population and in the separated B‐cell sub
