Abstract
Three exceptional cell lines were tested for the presence of the Epstein Barr virus genome by nucleic acid hybridization (complementary RNA DNA) and Epstein Barr virus determined nuclear antigen tests. Two lines were derived from Swedish lymphoma cases and one from an African Burkitt like lymphoma biopsy that was negative for Epstein Barr virus DNA and the virus determined nuclear antigen. All three lines apparently lacked the viral genome. Two of the three lines clearly had characteristics of B cells (bone marrow derived).
