## Abstract The effect of EBV‐conversion of two EBV‐negative lymphoma lines (Ramos and BJAB) on agarose clonability and tumorigenicity in nude mice was explored. The cloning frequency was increased in all 9 sublines investigated, between I.I and 4.9 times compared to the original “parental” lines.

✦ Synopsis
Two EBV-negative B-lymphoma cell lines with different phenotypes were transfected with the Epstein-Barr virus EBNA-2 gene. The effects on the expression of 8 B-cell surface markers were analyzed by immunofluorescence methods. In one of the EBNA-2 transfected cell lines, the expression of the CR2 receptor CD2I was induced and the expression of CD23 was enhanced. The results suggest that the EBNA-2 gene is involved in the regulation of CD2l and CD23 in EBV-carrying cells.
