Abstract
Somatic cell hybrids between mouse cells and cells derived directly from NPC biopsies were produced in order to study the association of the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) genome and the expression of Epstein‐Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) with the human chromosome(s). All attempts to correlate the presence of EBV‐DNA and the expression of EBNA with the presence of a particular human chromosome(s) showed that the segregation of EBV‐DNA or of EBNA and human chromosomes was dysconcordant. The data, therefore, suggest that in the hybrids studied the presence of EBA‐DNA is not determined by the presence of a specific human chromosome.

## Abstract ## Background Little has been known about whether Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) could persist in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells by chromosomal integration, and no NPC cell line harboring integrated EBV has been reported. In this study, we explored this issue through isolating EBV‐infe
## Abstract The regulation of spontaneous, IUDR‐induced and P3HR‐1 virus‐induced EA and VCA production patterns was studied in two new somatic hybrids between human lymphoma lines. The hybrid 8A was derived from the crossing of the non‐producer Raji with the spontaneous producer Daudi line. The sec
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an inhibitory cytokine produced by various cell types. It exhibits strong sequence homology to BCRF-1 (viral IL-10, vIL-10), an open reading frame in the Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV) genome. Using in situ hybridization (ISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemi
