An Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-producer line, designated Akata, was established from a Japanese patient with Burkitt's lymphoma. The Akata line possessed the Burkitt's-type chromosome translocation, t(8q- ; 14q+), and was derived from the tumor cell. Akata cells produced a large quantity of transforming virus upon treatment of cells with anti-immunoglobulin antibodies (Takada, 1984). Southern blot analysis of viral DNA indicated that the Akata EBV is nondefective and more representative of wild-type viruses. Akata cells should be useful as a source of EBV.
一个名为赤羽(Akata)的能产生爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)的细胞系,是从一名患有伯基特淋巴瘤的日本患者身上建立的。赤羽细胞系具有伯基特型染色体易位,t(8q- ; 14q+),并且源自肿瘤细胞。在用抗免疫球蛋白抗体处理细胞后,赤羽细胞产生大量转化病毒(高田,1984年)。病毒DNA的Southern印迹分析表明,赤羽EBV无缺陷,更具野生型病毒的代表性。赤羽细胞应可作为EBV的一个来源。
