## Abstract EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) establishes lifelong latency in Bβlymphocytes following infection. Although in immuneβcompetent individuals EBV remains in a quiescent state, in immunodeficient individuals, such as those with AIDS or transplant recipients, Bβlymphocytes infected with EBV prolif
Acute virus infections in normal hosts are typically controlled by the development of a host immune response that includes MHC-restricted virus-specific T cells. Many viruses have developed methods to evade T cell recognition to facilitate initial infection and the establishment of a persistent infe
## Abstract Rat embryo cells subjected __in vitro__ to transient incubation at an elevated temperature (39Β° C) became transformed and induced fibrosarcomas in both homologous and heterologous hosts. Malignant transformation correlated with the occurrence of karyotypic changes which appeared long af
