Children free from infectious disease have been examined by indirect immunofluorescence for the presence of antibodies to the intracellular capsid antigen of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In the first year of life 46%, between 2 and 6 years of age 66%, and between 7 and 14 years 91%, of the children proved positive. The corresponding percentages for the presence of antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus were about 50%, irrespective of the children's age. Serum samples from 69 patients suffering from infectious mononucleosis (IM) were tested for anti-EBV antibodies. Of the 29 Paul-Bunnell-positive patients 22 had antibodies, 11 of them in high titres (greater than 1 : 80). Of the 40 Paul-Bunnell-negative cases only 21 had antibodies, 8 in high titres. Of the Paul-Bunnell-negative cases, 73% were found to have anti-CMV antibodies, 32% in high titre. The respective percentages for the Paul-Bunnell-positive cases were 42% and 10%. 相似文献

Abstract Patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infectious mononucleosis (IM) usually develop heterophilic antibodies and some autoantibodies. Antibodies to rubella, measles, adeno-, entero-, herpes simplex, cytomegalo- and varicella-zoster viruses were titrated in sera from IM patients and matched healthy controls using the complement fixation test (CFT) and the haemagglutination inhibition test. Except for herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus, the IM sera had significantly higher arithmetical and geometrical mean antibody titres and showed in most cases higher antibody prevalences in the CFT. The titre rise was most pronounced for rubella and measles antibodies, between 2- and 3-fold. There were no cases of very high titres occasionally seen in IM. The IM sera had higher total IgG serum levels than the controls, 17.27 g/1 and 11.8 g/1, respectively ( P < 0.001). The present data show that in addition to previously reported high levels of some autoantibodies and of heterophilic antibodies, there is a more general increase in IgG antibodies to commonly occurring viruses. This increase is most likely due to the polyclonal activation of B-lymphocytes following the binding of EBV to the complement receptor CR2 (CD21). When due consideration is given to the possible occasional occurrence of a false positive rubella IgM test, the raised antibody-titres will most likely not interfere with routine diagnostics. 相似文献

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy occurred in a 46-year-old man 16 months after an episode of infectious mononucleosis induced by Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. The features of infectious mononucleosis included fever, pharyngitis, lymph gland enlargement, hepatosplenomegaly, hyperbasophilic mononuclear cells, and IgM antibodies to EB virus, although heterophile antibodies were not detected. The illness was severe and prolonged and included an asymptomatic measles virus infection. Over a year later massive enlargement of the lymph nodes led to a biopsy, which showed a diffuse infiltration with lymphoid cells and a proliferation of arborising small vessels typical of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. In spite of corticosteroids, levamisole, chlorambucil, and radiotherapy, no remission occurred, and serious infections led to death 18 months after the onset. Viral infections with EB virus and measles virus associated with pre-existing or subsequent immunological changes probably resulted in the appearance of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. 相似文献

In relation to the study of infectious mononucleosis a survey of the prevalence of antibody to EB virus was made on the sera of persons of varying age from several different areas in England by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. About half those tested were found to have acquired antibody by the age of 4 years and there was a further significant increase in the proportion of those positive between the ages of 15 and 24 years. The finding of seroconversion in two patients who developed infectious mononucleosis provides further support for an association between EB virus and this condition. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of laboratory made reagent of polystyrene latex coated with three preparations of mononucleosis antigen (reagent MZ-I, MZ-II, and MZ-III) for detection of heterophile antibodies in patients sera with clinical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. These studies were carried out on 153 serum samples taken from persons suspected of being infected with EB virus and on 100 healthy controls--blood donors. The results of latex tests were compared to the results of Paul-Bunnell-Davidsohn (PBD) and hemolytic tests. Out of three latex reagents evaluated only one (reagent MZ-I) showed sensitivity equal to PBD and haemolytic tests. The sensitivity reached 91.1%. Agglutination reaction when appeared in latex test at serum dilution 1:5, is considered positive and diagnostically significant result. 相似文献

No less than 4-fold increase in the antibody titres to Pseudomonas aeruginosa during the infectious process served as laboratory confirmation of its participation in the infectious process. In 49 of 91 patients hemagglutining titre exceeded the diagnostic one (1:640). In 9 patients (chiefly in infants) hemagglutinin titre remained low, but there was a rise of antibody level to Pseudomonas aeruginosa during the disease. High hemagglutinin titres were noted in 12 patients on admission to the clinic, with reduction of the antibody titres at the late periods of the disease. Antibody titres remained unchanged during the disease in 15 patients. In 3 cases the indirect hemagglutination test was assesed as negative. In the rest of the patients hemagglutinin titres varied within the range of the diagnostic titre. Thus, the indirect hemagglutination test with erythrocytic diagnostic agent permitting to determine antibodies to Pseudomonas aeruginosa could be used at the clinic in combination with bacteriological and other investigations for establishing etiology of the destructive process. 相似文献

In October 1969 tests made on 1,457 students entering English universities and colleges showed that 57% already possessed antibody to EB virus. The students without antibody in these initial tests were retested seven months later and by then 12% had acquired antibody. In about one-third of them the acquisition of antibody was not associated with any illness. In about 20% respiratory and other illness had occurred, but these symptoms were almost equally frequent in students who had not acquired antibody. Nearly half had developed infectious mononucleosis. In students in whom the acquisition of EB virus antibody was associated with the clinical and haematological manifestations of infectious mononucleosis the Paul-Bunnell test was almost invariably positive. In contrast, when these manifestations were not associated with the acquisition of EB virus antibody the Paul-Bunnell test was always negative.Tests for cytomegalovirus antibody were also made on the students at entry. The proportion of students with this antibody was much less (30%) and only a small proportion (1·4%) of those without antibody had acquired cytomegalovirus antibody seven months later. In the only patient in whom the acquisition of cytomegalovirus antibody alone was associated with the clinical and haematological features of infectious mononucleosis the Paul-Bunnell test was negative. 相似文献

The EBV antibodies were measured in 378 sera from a group of 129 pediatric and older cases of infectious mononucleosis and from 117 family and social contacts. Cases of infectious mononucleosis with only one exception were EBV seropositive in acute and/or convalescent sera. Fourteen cases, however, from whom no convalescent serum was available were EBV seronegative. A rise in EBV antibodies of two dilutions or more was demonstrated in 15 of the 129 cases. The prevalence of these antibodies in contacts reached 50 to 70% in each of four age groups. A significant antibody rise was encountered in only four cases, one of whom was found to have infectious mononucleosis simultaneously with the index case and one after an interdisease period of 10 months. The infectivity of the EB virus (and of infectious mononucleosis if causally related) and its horizontal transmission seem to be as low in nature as they appear to be experimentally in the laboratory. 相似文献

In an attempt to detect and characterize congenital, neonatal and early childhood EBV infections, a prospective sero-epidemiological study was undertaken in 112 newborn infants and their mothers, 25 additional newborns undergoing exchange transfusion, 114 randomly selected hospitalized infants aged 0 to 3 years, and 109 siblings and parents of these infants. Leukocyte culture was attempted in all the newborns and in 25 pre- and post-transfusion.The findings of EBV seroconversion in six patients without clearly apparent illness, infectious mononucleosis in only one case with significant EBV antibody rise, seroreversion in three cases in early childhood, higher newborn than maternal EBV antibody titres in three cases and the establishment of two permanent lymphoblastoid cell lines from newborns following exchange transfusion raise the possibility of abortive primary EBV infection in early life. Congenital or neonatal infections following exchange transfusions, however, could not be substantiated with certainty since the EBV antibodies did not persist at follow-up except possibly in two cases. Parenteral transmission of the EB virus by exchange transfusion at birth is probably prevented by the presence of EBV antibodies in either donor or recipient. 相似文献

IgM antibodies specific for Epstein-Barr (E.B.) virus were demonstrable in all but one out of 46 patients diagnosed as having infectious mononucleosis wihout heterophil antibodies; cytomegalovirus aetiology was excluded. In all but two cases the highest titre was found in the first sample. In 21 patients a significant decrease was seen within a few weeks. IgG antibodies to E.B. virus, mostly remaining at a constant level, were demonstrable in all cases. IgM antibodies to E.B. virus were found in only five out of 300 controls.The results suggest that in a disease similar to infectious mononucleosis without heterophil antibodies testing of transient E.B. virus-specific IgM antibodies makes a rapid aetiological diagnosis possible and that in clinically well-defined cases viruses other than E.B. virus and cytomegalovirus are unlikely to be causal agents. 相似文献

Thirty-nine renal allograft recipients who had received continuous immunosuppression for six to 13 years were examined clinically and virologically for evidence of past or present viral infection. Twenty-five had common warts, usually on the hands. In most the warts had appeared about one year after transplantation; once present, they never disappeared. Six patients had had a zoster rash from two months to four years after transplantation. None had had jaundice, and there was no change in the frequency of colds or non-specific fibrile illness. Four patients had no cytomegalovirus complement-fixing antibodies throughout the observation period; in the other 35 the antibody titre had risen appreciably during the first three to four months after transplantation. Antibody titres were high (mean 64) at follow-up, being only slightly lower than the highest titres achieved during the immediate postoperative period. None of the patients had had symptomatic cytomegalovirus infection, and in only two was the virus isolated from the urine at follow-up; the titres were extremely low. No changes occurred in the frequency of herpes simplex eruptions. Although all patients had herpes simplex humoral antibody, none excreted the virus. Although cytomegalovirus antibody titres were high, virus excretion was rare, indicating that chronic cytomegalovirus infection in these patients is immunologically well controlled. 相似文献

A patient who developed Hodgkin''s disease four years after infectious mononucleosis had elevated serum antibody titres to Epstein-Barr virus and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to membrane antigens prepared from fresh autologous spleen, from spleen cells of another Hodgkin''s patient, and from cell lines known to carry the Epstein-Barr virus genome. Additional studies in more lymphoma patients will be needed to determine the significance of the reactivity against tumour and virus-associated antigens which has been documented in this patient. 相似文献

A prospective study of EB virus infections was initiated in July, 1969 in the entering class of 1401 cadets, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. and continued over 4 yr. On entry 63.5% possessed EBV antibody and 36.5 lacked EBV antibody. The rate of antibody prevalence varied with the geographic area from which the cadet originated.Except in two cadets already ill on first bleeding no evidence of clinical infectious mononucleosis (I.M.) occurred over the 4 yr period in the 890 cadets entering the Academy with EBV antibody. Among 437 cadets without antibody on entry, 54 or 12.4% were infected (seroconverted) in the freshman year; 15 of these had clinical I.M., 12 had suggestive I.M., and 39 had no known mono-like illness. The annual infection rates in susceptible cadets in the second, third, and fourth years were 24.4, 15.1, and 30.8 per 100, respectively. Of 201 cadets infected with EBV over 4 yr only 26.4% were manifested by heterophile positive clinical infectious mononucleosis. Overall, 46% of the 437 cadets entering without EBV antibody became infected over 40 mo of serologic observation; definite clinical infectious mononucleosis developed in 53 cadets, a clinical attack rate of 12.1 per 100 for 4 yr. The EBV infection rate among exposed and susceptible roommates of known cases was no higher than in roommates not so exposed.Elevations of EBV-specific and total IgM occurred during acute illness and disappeared in late convalescence. Total IgG and IgA levels were less commonly elevated. EBV-specific-IgM antibody was demonstrable during the acute illness but was absent 12 mo later. Analysis of EBV infection rates revealed no difference among persons of different ABO blood groups. 相似文献

Anit-EBNA IgM, a previously unknown antibody, was detected by the antihuman globulin anticomplement immunofluorescence (ACIF) method in serum samples from acute infectious mononucleosis (IM) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) origin. The antibody disappears from the serum in some weeks during convalescence. It was absent in anti-EBV=positive sera of healthy donors and in serum samples taken from patients with IM caused by cytomegalo-virus. The antibody appears simultaneously with anti-EBV IgmM and, reaching a lower titre than the latter, its titre curve runs parallel with the anti-EBV IgM curve. Since in acute EBV infections, anti-EBNA IgM always appeared, its presence may serve as an additional evidence of the acuteness of EBV infection. In EBV-seropositive healthy subjects, the bulk of antibodies belongs to the IgG class, non-complement-fixing IgA antibodies occur only sporadically. 相似文献

A short review of past and recent works pertinent to the etiology and pathogenesis of infectious mononucleosis is presented. Epidemiological studies have led to the elaboration of hypotheses concerning the etiology, the length of the incubation period and the mode of transmission of the disease. An unusual type of infectious mononucleosis of rickettsial origin has been reported by Japanese workers. Studies of accidental and experimental transmission suggest that more than one agent may give rise to the same disease. Isolation attempts in tissue cultures have been unrewarding except for the uncovering of possible agents by interference and immunofluorescence.The atypical lymphocyte is the site of increased RNA and DNA synthesis. It does not seem to be involved in antibody synthesis. The heterophile agglutinins and other mononucleosis-associated antibodies apparently account for only part of the excess 19S antibody material found in mononucleosis sera. The origin and function of these antibodies and of the atypical lymphocyte are the subject of speculation.The final elucidation of the pathogenesis of the disease and the confirmation of the reviewed hypotheses are all dependent on the eventual discovery of the elusive etiological agent(s) of infectious mononucleosis. 相似文献

Bentonite particles sensitized with concentrated human Old Tuberculin were used for detection of circulating antibodies to M. tuberculosis in human sera.There was no sharp distinction between the titres of patients with active and inactive tuberculosis, but progressively higher antibody titres accompanied increased severity of infection. The sera of 95.3% of the patients studied had a titre of 1:8 or higher. This level was considered to be the minimal significant titre indicative of the presence of metabolically active bacilli in old and new lesions. Tuberculin-negative controls and syphilitic sera were negative. A common zone of incidence in the 1:8-1:32 range was found where differentiation between tuberculin-positive healthy people and patients with tuberculosis was not possible; however, titres of 1:64 or more were found only in tuberculous patients. The antibody under study is heat-labile. 相似文献

In 7 children aged 18 months to 7 years isolated from a group of 128 children with infectious mononucleosis the cytomegalovirus infection was found. Infection was diagnosed by determination of antibodies against immediate early and late CMV antigen by means of the ELISA test. Besides that, antibodies were determined against the capsid antigen and early antigen of EB virus by the method of indirect immunofluorescence. In four children only cytomegalovirus infection was found and three had a mixed infection with both viruses and the diagnosis in these cases was: infectious mononucleosis (due to EBV) with coexistent or following CMV infection. In the sera of two children with cytomegalovirus mononucleosis changes were observed in the antibodies against EBV which is explained as a result of interactions between CMV and EBV in the organism of the host. 相似文献

Short-term cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 20 infectious mononucleosis patients 2–4 weeks after the onset of the disease were studied for formation of heterophile antibodies. In studying pooled supernatant fluids of lymphocytes from three patients cultured for 3–20 days, lytic antibodies for red blood cells of bovine (BRBC) and sheep (SRBC) origin were demonstrated. These hemolysins were shown to be of IgM nature and Paul-Bunnell specificity. Subsequently, plaque-forming cell (PFC) assays were performed with lymphocyte cultures of 15 patients. Significant numbers (60–750/2 × 107 cells) of PFC secreting antibodies against BRBC were demonstrated in lymphocyte cultures of 12 patients. The number of PFC apparently reached its peak after 5 to 10 days of culturing. No or a very few PFC were observed in the lymphocytes that were not cultured or in lymphocytes cultured for 3 weeks or longer. Lymphocyte cultures prepared in a similar fashion from normal individuals or patients suffering from sore throat and submandibular lymphadenopathy of other than infectious mononucleosis origin did not produce PFC. Production of lytic zones by antibodies to BRBC secreted by PFC was inhibited by preincubation of lymphocytes of infectious mononucleosis patients with solubilized Paul-Bunnell antigen but not with other heterophile antigens, indicating that antibodies involved in the PFC formation are of Paul-Bunnell specificity. An increased number of PFC against BRBC were obtained in two of three lymphocyte cultures after cultivation with BRBC or solubilized Paul-Bunnell antigen. 相似文献

The possible presence of Paul-Bunnell (PB) antigen on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphocytes were investigated. Of 23 EBV genome-positive lymphoblastoid cell lines tested all but one absorbed PB type antibody from the serum of an infectious mononucleosis patient. The one EBV-negative B cell line tested did not absorb the heterophile antibody. PB antibody, purified by an immunoadsorbent procedure using beef cell antigen, reacted with the EBV producer P3HR-1 cell line in an indirect membrane immunofluorescence test and was shown to be IgM antibody. Titers of heterophile agglutinin and reactivity with the cell surface were reduced to the same degree by absorption with beef cell antigen but not with guinea pig kidney antigen. PB antibody was distinct from IgM antibody against the EBV-determined membrane antigen, since the latter was not absorbed by beef cell antigen. PB antibody was also reactive with other EBV-positive B cell lines (QIMR-WIL, NC-37, and Raji) which were free of surface IgM. No reaction occurred with the nonproducer P3HR-1 line, a null cell line, and two T cell lines. The results suggest the presence of PB antigen on most EBV-transformed B lymphocytes, and its appearance in each of the transformed lymphocytes of patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. 相似文献

The radioimmune precipitation (RIP) assay was used to examine the antibody titres against endogenous AKR murine leukaemia virus (MuLV) in a number of antisera to lymphocyte (Ly) alloantigens. The sera from normal donor and unimmunized recipient mice used in raising the alloantisera were also examined for anti-MuLV activity. It was found that all the antisera had high anti-MuLV titres and that in all but one case alloantigen immunization augmented the anti-viral titres. The degree of augmentation did not appear to be related to the anti-MuLV titre in the donor strain sera. Three I-region antisera were also examined for anti-MuLV antibodies and were found to have lower anti-viral titres than the Ly antisera even though immunization to I-region products greatly augmented the anti-viral titre. These results caution against the use of Ly antisera in characterizing the phenotype of lymphoid tumour cells without prior virus absorption. 相似文献
