title: Comparisons of surface markers on Herpesvirus-associated lymphoid cells of nonhuman primates and established human lymphoid cell lines.
abstract: Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS)-owl monkey lymphoid cells were found to have high levels of surface receptor for sheep erythrocytes and erythrocytes of 3 other species. These HVS-lymphoid cells lacked a receptor for modified complement. Lymphoid cells of one HVS-owl monkey line showed evidence for the presence of surface immunofluorescent staining with anti-kappa chain serum. Cells of an established HVS-marmoset lymphoid line had similar surface markers. Of 4 established human lymphoid cell lines, all lacked a receptor for sheep erythrocytes, 3 showed evidence for the presence of receptor for modified complement, and 3 showed immunofluorescent evidence for the presence on the surface of both heavy and light chain immunoglobulin. Preliminary data on an established Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-owl monkey lymphoid cell line indicated a lack of receptor for sheep erythrocytes, presence of receptor for modified complement, and surface immunofluorescent staining with both anti-heavy and anti-light chain sera.
