The growth characteristics of B lymphocytes infected with Epstein-Barr virus (lymphoblastoid cells) have been investigated by flow cytometric analysis of DNA content and by estimation of cell culture doubling times. It was found that the manipulative procedures involved in the cell cycle analysis resulted in a slowing of the growth rate. This slowing of growth was brought about by the prolongation of cell cycle transit times and by the entry of cells into a short-lived non-cycling pool. The entry of a proportion of the cells into the non-cycling pool may be the normal response of lymphoblastoid cells to non-optimal conditions. The non-cycling cells survived in culture with a T 1/2 of approximately 30-60 hr and continued to secrete immunoglobulin. Their surface transferrin receptors were considerably reduced, which suggests that the failure to divide may have resulted from a failure of growth factor receptors to reach a threshold value following mitosis.
