## Abstract Human lymphoblastoid lines of various origins which harbour Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐specific nucleic acid were re‐exposed to EBV. Following infection, cells of the non‐virus‐producing lines, Raji and S 95, predominantly synthesized EBV‐specific early antigens (EA), whereas only a small

Abstract
Redistribution and consequent cap formation of Epstein‐Barr virus adsorbed to human lymphoblastoid cells were studied by indirect membrane immunofluorescence carried out at 0° C. When EBV was adsorbed on cells at 0° C, the cell sur face fluorescence had a mostly ring‐like pattern. However, the ring cells could be transformed into cap cells when warmed at 37° C. This cap formation could be induced by EBV alone without participation of antibodies involved in the immunofluorescence procedure. The cap formation was temperature‐ and pH‐dependent, and was reversibly inhibited by sodium azide or some sugars. Thus the EBV‐induced cap formation was analogous to that induced by antibodies or ligands on other lymphoid cells.
