Abstract
Anti‐human immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies with single‐chain specificities induced Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) in various Burkitt lymphoma lines when the corresponding Ig chain was expressed on the cell surface. The F(ab')~2~ fragments of IgG antibody were as potent as intact Ig, while the Fab and Fc fragments gave no induction, indicating that cross‐linking of surface Ig was required for the induction. Simultaneously with EBV induction, anti‐Ig inhibited the uptake of ^3^H‐thymidine. This inhibition was also seen in EBV‐genome‐negative Burkitt lymphoma lines. In contrast, no effect on virus induction and cell growth was noted in lymphoblastoid lines of non‐neoplastic origin. The possible relationship between cell differentiation and latency of EBV‐carrier state is discussed.

The Epstein-Barr virus genome contained in the Burkitt lymphoma line Namalwa was previously localized to the short arm of chromosome I. Analysis of a different subline of the same Namalwa line by means of Southern analysis carried out on genomic D N A , as well as in situ hybridization, showed a loc
