Abstract: | Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in differentially stained chromosomes from lymphocytes of 17 patients with viral disease. The mean SCE score for the patients was 8.7 +/- 2.9 standard deviations. SCE scores were significantly elevated in the patients compared with the controls (p less than 0.01); however, variability in SCE means was observed in the patients. SCE elevations were also present in long term cultured Epstein Barr virus positive human B lymphocytes. |
