Abstract

The NK sensitivity of Raji cells was elevated after superinfection with the P3HR-1 strain of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The superinfected cells reacted with EBV antibody-positive sera and this was detectable by ADCC. F(ab′)2 fragments from the antibody-positive sera blocked the ADCC reaction but did not affect attachment of lymphocytes and natural killing. This indicates that the EBV-determined membrane antigens that serve as targets for the reactivity with the sera are not responsible for the increased NK sensitivity.
