摘要：We have attempted to establish a system that can be used to study the association of Epstein--Barr virus (EBV) with epithelial cells. Attempts were made to transfect human carcinoma cells with EBV DNA. Successful transfection was confirmed by the expression of EBV-specific early antigen (EA), virus capsid antigen, and the presence of virus DNA. The transfecting preparation contained a mixture of EBV and cellular DNA extracted from two producer cell lines, P3HR-1 and AG-876. Our data suggest that virus DNA obtained from the P3HR-1 nontransforming, EA-inducing strain of EBV was lytically expressed in the epithelial tumor cells. The DNA derived from AG-876 cells, which produce a transforming, non-EA-inducing strain of EBV, also produced a lytic infection.
