Abstract
The biological properties of Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) from a Burkitt lymphoma cell line, Jijoye, were examined. The synthesis of virus capsid antigen (VGA) and early antigen (EA) in Jijoye cells was markedly enhanced by shift‐down of the temperature of incubation from 37°C to 33°C. Cultures of Jijoye cells at 33°C released a large amount of transforming EBV (10^5.2^ of 50% transforming doses/ml) into the culture fluid. However, no infectious virus was produced in all cultures at 37°C during the course of this study. The EBV (Jijoye EBV) from Jijoye line was found to possess only transforming activity, but not EA‐inducing activity. Jijoye EBV lacks adsorbing capacity to Jijoye cells, in contrast to P3HR‐l EBV which can adsorb to Jijoye cells. The Jijoye cells were highly susceptible to superinfection with P3HR‐l EBV as demonstrated by the induction of EA, VGA and infectious EBV. The EBV induced by the P3HR‐I EBV superinfection of Jijoye cells has also transforming activity but neither EA‐inducing activity nor adsorbing capacity to Jijoye cells.
