Abstract

The results summarized in this paper purport to show that there is a profound difference in the validity and significance of Epstein Barr virus association with Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, on the one hand and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and lymphocytic lymphoma, as judged by nucleic acid hybridization and EBNA (EBV determined nuclear antigen) tests on the other. This is followed by some studies concerned with host cell control of viral functions, including evidence that biologically different viral variants exist. Finally, an attempt is made to formulate the main alternatives that can account for the association between the virus and human malignancies.
