Abstract

Studies have been performed on in vitro infection by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) of subpopulations of human lymphocytes. B cells of adult peripheral or fetal cord blood transform with equal efficiency, whether assayed by DNA synthesis induction or by outgrowth of transformed lymphocytes. In contrast, unfractionated adult lymphocytes transform much less efficiently than those from fetal cord. Reconstitution experiments of different cell preparations indicated that this difference was due to a suppression of B-cell proliferation by adult Ig-negative lymphocytes which fetal Ig-negative lymphocytes were unable to perform. Separation of Ig-negative lymphocytes into various subpopulations revealed that the suppression was performed by T cells. Macrophages and null cells play little or no role in suppression. The relevance of this phenomenon to infection and recovery from EBV infection during and after infectious mononucleosis is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
