Epstein-Barr virus infection in cultured non-malignant epithelial cells from human nasopharyngeal mucosa.
Epstein-Barr virus infected cultured epithelial cells from the human nasopharyngeal mucosa only, when the cells were maintained under conditions preventing terminal differentiation. The infection of these cells resulted in a marked cytopathology resembling that morphology induced in cell cultures by other members of the herpesvirus group.
