Abstract

The elution at low pH of human EBV‐positive ^125^I‐IgG bound to preparations of EBV‐carrying non‐producer lymphoblastoid cell lines has been investigated. Specific binding was demonstrated. A number of approaches were used to confirm the specificity. The stoichiometry of binding and elution was studied. The sub‐cellular location of the EBV‐associated antigen (s) detected by this method was shown to be predominantly nuclear. This confirms other studies demonstrating the presence of a nuclear antigen in non‐producer lymphoblastoid cell lines carrying the EBV genome.

## Abstract A quantitative assay for EBNA in human lymphoblastoid cell lines has been developed. The assay employs EBNA‐positive and ‐negative ^125^I‐IgG preparations as reagents and can be used in a direct or indirect manner. EBNA specificity has been demonstrated in a number of ways. The antigeni
