Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Cell-Free Epstein-Barr Virus DNA in Serum during Acute Infectious Mononucleosis

TL;DR: Sera from 125 persons with heterophil-positive acute infectious mononucleosis or EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma or who were healthy virus carriers were examined for evidence of cell-free viral DNA, and viral DNA was found in concert with one serologic marker of acute infection,EBV-specific polymeric IgA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial cell polarization is a determinant in the infectious outcome of immunoglobulin A-mediated entry by Epstein-Barr virus.

TL;DR: PIgR-mediated transcytosis of pIgA-EBV through epithelium facilitates endogenous spread of EBV in long-term virus carriers, with infection being confined to cells with altered polarity from prior cytopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Epstein—Barn Virus Genome in Ocular Tissues

TL;DR: The frequency with which EBV was found at apparently normal ocular sites raises the possibility for viral involvement in disease states, but emphasizes the need for specific criteria to implicate EBV in ocular pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterned entry and egress by Epstein-Barr virus in polarized CR2-positive epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Under conditions of long-term culture, latent EBV was not stably maintained in these cells, suggesting that the epithelial phase of acute EBV infection may be transient.
