Abstract

The P3HR-1 subclone of Jijoye differs from Jijoye and from other Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected cell lines in that the virus produced by P3HR-1 cultures lacks the ability to growth-transform normal B lymphocytes (Heston et al., Nature (London) 295:160-163, 1982; Miller et al., J. Virol. 18:1071-1080, 1976; Miller et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 71:4006-4010, 1974; Ragona et al., Virology 101:553-557, 1980). The P3HR-1 virus was known to be deleted for a region which encodes RNA in latently infected, growth-transformed cells (Bornkamm et al., J. Virol. 35:603-618, 1980; Heller et al., J. Virol. 38:632-648, 1981; King et al., J. Virol. 36:506-518, 1980; Raab-Traub et al., J. Virol. 27:388-398, 1978; van Santen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78:1930-1934, 1980). This deletion is now more precisely defined. The P3HR-1 genome contains less than 170 base pairs (and possibly none) of the 3,300-base pair U2 region of EBV DNA and is also lacking IR2 (a 123-base pair repeat which is the right boundary of U2). A surprising finding is that EBV isolates vary in part of the U2 region. Two transforming EB viruses, AG876 and Jijoye, are deleted for part of the U2 region including most or all of a fragment, HinfI-c, which encodes part of one of the three more abundant cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNAs of growth-transformed cells (King et al., J. Virol. 36:506-518, 1980; King et al., J. Virol. 38:649-660, 1981; van Santen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78:1930-1934).
