    Epstein Barr Virus Links Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with four diseases which at first sight might appear unrelated.
    • Post-transplant lymphomas (PTLD) which are a major problem in Western countries; Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) which is common in adults in Southern China and most South East Asian countries; Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) which is the commonest cancer of childhood in malarious areas of Papua New Guinea and Africa. Infectious mononucleosis (IM) which is common in Western countries and is a consequence of primary infection.
    ACITHN staff are conducting basic molecular and immunological investigations into the genesis of these diseases. Treatment protocols are being evaluated by a network collaborating institutions in Australia, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Laboratory studies have proceeded on two fronts: 1) understanding how the virus causes B lymphocytes to become immortal and 2) the use of adoptive transfer of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) from graft donors into bone marrow transplant patients who develop tumours. We are currently collaborating with transplant centres throughout Australia to see whether this second can be developed as a cost-effective technology following solid organ engraftment. Another approach would be to use EBV peptide epitope immunisation to protect young children who are at particular risk of PTLD. It is expected that clinical trials will begin in 1998 in association with the CRC for Vaccine Technology.

Information Mononucleosis/Epstein-Barr Virus ("EBV") Basic Information Epstein-Barr virus infections are caused by the herpes virus, the family of which includes CMV, herpes simplex and the varicella-zoster virus. It is believed that almost all people become infected with EBV at some point in their lives but at least half of the cases are acquired by the age of five years. Both sexes are affected equally, although females tend to become infected two years earlier than males. It is not known how this human herpes virus is passed but it is generally believed that it is transmitted by intimate contact, i.e. kissing where saliva is passed back and forth. Hence it has been nicknamed the "kissing disease". The virus is not considered highly contagious even though intimate or close contact between people is thought to be necessary for transmission. The infection is more severe in the elderly; if acquired during childhood, the affects of the illness are considerably more moderate. EBV is often asymptomatic in the young. The virus usually resolves on its own.

    Abstract: Transfection of an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded plasmid containing EBER caused a substantial decrease in the level of plasmid containing EBV in Akata and Mutu Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) lines, but failed to do so in other BL lines. The results suggest that EBER could replace the role of EBV, but other EBV products also play a role in the growth of BL. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is present in tumor cells of more than 90% of cases of Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) in areas of endemicity in equatorial Africa and New Guinea, as well as in tumor cells of about 10% of sporadic cases of BL occurring worldwide

    NEWS For immediate use Oct. 7, 1999 No.605 Scientists find protein in Epstein-Barr virus causes B cell lymphoma in laboratory mice By DAVID WILLIAMSON
    UNC-CH News Services CHAPEL HILL Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working with colleagues in Japan, have proven that a protein called latent membrane protein 1 in Epstein-Barr virus causes a form of cancer known as B cell lymphoma in mice. The work is important, the scientists say, because it shows the protein’s central role in Epstein-Barr virus’ ability to change normal cells into cancerous ones. That virus already is known to cause infectious mononucleosis in humans and has been associated with such malignancies as Burkett’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and nose and throat cancer. It is especially hazardous to AIDS patients and other patients whose immune systems have weakened. "We have shown for the first time that Epstein-Barr virus clearly can cause cancer," said Dr. Nancy Raab-Traub, professor of microbiology at the UNC-CH School of Medicine and a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Now we can go after the specific protein that is responsible and perhaps one day stop that protein function and prevent the cancer from growing."

    Clinical Significance:
    Echoviruses, like the other enteroviruses (Coxsackie A and B, poliovirus), cause a variety of clinical syndromes. These include aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, flaccid motor paralysis, exanthems, generalized disease of the newborn, and neonatal diarrhea. Because of the large number of potential serotypes, serology is of limited use in diagnosis. Viral isolation is the preferred laboratory method. In cases of central nervous system disease, amplification techniques (PCR on CSF) are the most sensitive.
    Single positive antibody titers of greater than 1:80 may indicate past or current infection. Seroconversion or an increase in titers between acute and convalescent sera of at least fourfold is considered strong evidence of current or recent infection.

    The Epstein-Barr virus is thought to be responsible for a number of diseases in addition to glandular fever (otherwise known as infectious mononucleosis ) and Burkitt’s lymphoma . One of these is nasopharyngeal carcinoma: this is a tumour of the nasal passages and throat which affects up to 2 per cent of people in southern China and also occurs in Southeast Asia, northern Africa and among Arctic peoples. It has been proposed as a possible cause of Hodgkin’s disease (a type of cancer affecting cells of lymph nodes). On this page: How was the virus discovered? How is the virus spread?

    Definition
    The Epstein-Barr virus test is a blood test, or group of tests, to determine the presence or absence of antibodies in the blood stream directed against proteins of the Epstein-Barr virus, the cause of infectious mononucleosis Purpose The test is primarily used to detect whether first time infection (called primary infection) with the Epstein-Barr virus is currently occurring, or has occurred within a short period of time. The pattern of the antibodies detected can, however, tell if the person has never been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, or if the infection occurred in the more distant past. These tests are mostly utilized in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis when the more common diagnostic test, the heterophile antibody, is negative, or in situations where the infection is manifesting unusual symptoms. Therefore, the tests are often not needed in a situation where a doctor believes that a person has mononucleosis and the heterophile test (also called the monospot test) is positive. In addition, Epstein-Barr virus testing is usually not needed in the evaluation of a patient who has long-lasting

    Epstein-Barr virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpesvirus that is the major cause of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with a number of cancers, particularly lymphomas in immunosuppressed persons, including persons with AIDS. Epstein-Barr is a ubiquitous virus, so common that it has been difficult to determine whether it is the cause of certain diseases or whether it is simply there as an artifact. In Third World nations, most children are infected with EBV; in most industrialized nations, about 50% of the people are infected. Research has found that all of the lymphomas associated with AIDS and most lymphomas in other immunocompromised persons are connected with latent EBV infection. EBV has been found in biopsy tissue of patients with Hodgkin's disease , breast cancer, and some smooth muscle tumors. EBV also was formerly suspected as the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (originally named chronic EBV syndrome).

      Definition
      The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) discovered in 1964, is believed to be the causative agent in infectious mononucleosis. In South African children, it is associated with Burkitt's lymphoma; and in Asian populations with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Why the virus has these different and varied associations in different geographical areas is unknown. Also it is the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that has become widespread in the United States. EBV is a member of the herpes family and is related to the viruses that cause genital herpes and shingles.

      Causes
      Epstein-Barr virus causes chronic fatigue syndrome. Highly contagious, it can be passed from one person to another by close contact, kissing, sharing food, and coughing, and it can be sexually transmitted. A person cannot become immune to EBV, and antibiotics will not help, because it is a viral disease. The virus causes "overreaction" of the immune system, which results in a type of immunity "burnout". Chronic fatigue syndrome may also be caused by the fungus Candida albicans , chronic mercury poisoning from dental amalgam fillings, anemia , hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism , and sleep problems The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta estimates that tens of thousands of people are infected with EBV. Many are only carriers of the virus and are unaware that they have it because they have no symptoms. Once EBV is contracted, it remains in the body, but most people develop antibodies to EBV.
