Chromosomes and cell surface markers of marmoset lymphocytes and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed marmoset cell lines.
The G-banded karyotypes of both normal lymphocytes and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphocytes of cotton-topped marmosets (Saguinus oedipus) were examined. The marmoset lymphocytes and EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells had normal diploid chromosomes (2n = 46) with no specific cytogenic change associated with transformation in vitro. EBV-transformed marmoset lymphocytes expressed the cell surface markers of B lymphocytes and EB viral antigens.
