Detection of EBV, HBV, HCV, HIV-1, HTLV-I and -II, and SMRV in Human and Other Primate Cell Lines

Figure 5

Detection of circular and linear EBV DNA in untreated and TPA-treated cell lines by in situ lysing gel analysis. Cells were stimulated for 72 hours with 1 0 7  M TPA and 0.3 M Na-butyrate. All conditions were as described in the legend for Figure 3. The cell lines B95-8 and YT can be efficiently stimulated to produce high amounts of linear EBV genomes, whereas BD-215 cannot be triggered to produce more linear DNA and IM-9 is not induced to produce linear DNA by TPA/Na-butyrate.
