Abstract
Two gibbons (Hylobates lar) without antibodies to antigens related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were inoculated with EBV by the intravenous route, and one of these also had EBV injected into both tonsils. A third animal without antibodies to EBV was injected intratonsillarly with its own leukocytes (obtained the preceding day and exposed to EBV in vitro overnight at 37 C). All three animals seroconverted after an incubation period of five weeks, and the two that had EBV injected intratonsillarly showed signs at that time of tonsillitis, which persisted for about two weeks. None of the animals developed heterophil antibody responses. These results tend to support the idea that EBV is the cause of infectious mononucleosis.

It is indicated that EBV is related to, and probably the cause of, infectious mononucleosis, and that the agent has a world-wide dissemination.

Antibodies to early antigens were detected by indirect immunofluorescence in serums of many patients with infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, or nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and possibly reflect current or recent disease processes that are associated with the virus.

The hypothesis that the immunofluorescent antigen is related to the presence of the herpes-type virus particle in the cells is strongly supported.

Comparative serum titration on acetone and ethanol‐fixed Raji‐EBV cell smears revealed that the transitory anti‐EA response observed in many IM patients was restricted almost exclusively to anti‐D, whereas such sera from NPC or BL patients usually gave positive reactions which in part, however, failed to conform with the R pattern.

EBV antibody was present in the serums of all 135 patients who had heterophil-antibody-positive infectious mononucleosis and also in six with clinically and hematologically typical cases whose serums were persistently heterophIL-Antibody negative, suggesting that EB virus may be associated with both forms of illness.

These findings supported the earlier conclusion that EBV is related to, if not identical with, the causative agent of IM, and revealed the C-group chromosomal marker previously found in cultured Burkitt tumor cells.

The number of cases reported now amounts to at least 65, with the majority of authors regard a viral infection transmitted via blood transfusion as the most probable cause.

The evidence indicates that this patient acquired a chronic EB-virus infection, probably transmitted by blood and possibly related to the post-perfusion illness.

Because of the generally transitory nature of anti-EA responses, the presence of this antibody in an acute-phase serum at a titer ^1:20 would denote, with few exceptions, a current primary infection.

Antibodies to HLV appeared at an earlier age than HSV antibodies and reached a frequency of 65% in the 3-5 year age group, and both antibodies persisted for at least 10 years in sera of 26 normal individuals.

A mononucleosis syndrome developed in a hospitalized eightysix year old woman five weeks after she received three blood transfusions, and tests for antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV) suggested that EBV and CMV share cross-reacting antigens.

Cross-absorption experiments showed that the antigens reacting in the two types of cells were not identical, and dissimilarity of the antIGens was further demonstrated by gel diffusion experiments with cellular extracts.

It is suggested, on the basis of these and other studies, that the two viruses are antigenically distinct but share common antigens.
