RESUMO

Baby hamster kidney cells were transfected with BamHI fragments of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA (B95-8 strain) cloned into the pLTR vector containing retroviral enhancer and promoter sequences. Seventeen fragments (BamHI-A, -B, -C, -D, -E, -G, -K, -L, -M, -O, -P, -Q, -R, -U, -V, -X, and -Z) expressed antigenically distinct EBV-specific products recognized by EBV-immune human sera.
