Abstract
Mouse spleen lymphocytes to which uncleaved human C3 had been attached were interacted with two EBV- lines (RAMOS and BJAB) and six EBV+ sublines (A.W-RAMOS, 11.W.A.RAMOS, EHR.A.RAMOS, EHR.B.RAMOS; GC-BJAB, BJAB/HRIK), which were obtained by superinfection of the EBV- lines with EBV. Depending on the presence of C3, the EBV- sublines except for EHR-A.RAMOS formed rosettes with the mouse spleen lymphocytes. The interaction was inhibitable by DFP. The experiments are interpreted as indicating the presence of proteolytic, C3-cleaving activity on the surface of the EBV+ sublines. The expression of this activity on the EBV+ lines only, correlates it to the transformation of EBV- lines into EBV+ lines.
