RESUMO
Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) is the only viral protein required to support latent replication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). To assess the likelihood that EBNA-1 regulates the amount of EBV DNA in a cell, we measured the average numbers of EBNA-1 molecules and EBV DNA molecules per cell in different clones of cells. The amount of EBNA-1 protein present in recently established lymphoblastoid cell lines was measured with affinity-purified anti-EBNA-1 antibodies, and viral DNA was measured by nucleic acid hybridization. The average levels of EBNA-1 protein varied little between these cell lines, whereas the average amount of viral DNA present varied substantially; consequently, these numbers were not correlated. There is no apparent relationship between amounts of EBNA-1 and viral DNA.
