Background. Head and neck non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in HIV positive patients are highly related with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. In general, viral agents can alter p53 protein levels by enhancing degradation of cellular p53 or by increasing its half-life by viral protein-p53 interaction. Moreo

✦ Synopsis
Simian-immunodeficiency-virus(SIV)-infected cynomolgus monkeys develop B-cell lymphomas in approximately one
third of the cases. We have now studied the expression of cynomolgus-Epstein-Barr-virus(cyno-EBV) nuclear antigens in I3 cyno-EBVcarrying SIVsm-associated monkey lymphomas and established cell lines from 3 of these turriors. lmmunoblots of cell tysates were probed with polyrpecific and monospecific reagents directed against human EB-virus EBNAI-6, and against the membrane protein LMP I. An EBNA2-cross-reacting protein was demonstrated in 8 lymphoma tissues (8/ 13) and in the 3 cell linas derived from the tumors. All tumors expressed a polypeptide with 50 to 55 kDa molecular weight, which cross-reacted with some antibodies to EBNAl . Absorption experiments with normal monkey tissue showed that this polypeptide was specific for the cyno-EBV-carrying lymphoma cells. Equivalents of EBNA3-6 and LMPl could not be detected. Immunophenotypicai characterization showed that the monkey lymphomas were similar to human HIV-associated B-cell lymphomas. Malignant B-cell lymphomas in experimentally SIVsm-infected cynomolgus monkeys can be a model for EBV-associated lymphomagenesis in immunodeficiency states.
