Abstract

Recent studies have implicated simian virus 40 (SV40) in non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas based on detection of SV40 DNA sequences. We employed a virus‐like‐particle (VLP)‐based enzyme immunoassay for antibodies to SV40 to test sera from 520 lymphoma cases and 587 controls in Spain. The SV40 seroprevalence was 9.5% in controls and 5.9% in cases. Antibody levels of the positive sera were low. There was no association of SV40 seropositivity with any subtype of lymphoma. VLPs of the human BK virus substantially inhibited the SV40 reactivity of human sera. There was no serological evidence of widespread SV40 infection and no association of SV40 seropositivity with human lymphomas in Spain. Β© 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have increased risk for non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Recent studies have reported the detection of DNA sequences from simian virus 40 (SV40), a macaque polyomavirus that contaminated early poliovirus vaccines, in a large proportion
