Herpesvirus papio(HVP)-carrying baboon lymphoblastoid lines do not express a nuclear antigen like the Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA), as judged by in situ anticomplement fluorescence staining, although the carry multiple viral genomes and, in the case of producerlines, early antigen (EA) and viral capsid antigen (VCA) that cross-react with the corresponding human EBV-determined antigens. To test whether the lack of in situ nuclear antigen expression is a property innate to the baboon virus or the baboon cell, nonproducer HVP-carrying baboon lymphoid cells of the 26 CB-1 line were superinfected with two human EBV strains. B95-8-derived EBV induced brilliant EBNA staining, proving that the baboon lymphoid cell was competent to synthesize EBNA. In the mirror experiment, HVP derived from the 9B or the 18C baboon line was added to the EBV-carrying Raji line, the EBV-negative Ramos and BJAB lines and the HVP-carrying nonproducer 26 CB-1 line, respectively. HVP induced EA and VCA in Raji, and EA in BJAB and 26 CB-1. EBNA was not induced in any of the three EBNA-negative lines, BJAB, Ramos and 26 CB-1. It is concluded that the lack of in situ nuclear staining in HVP-carrying baboon lines is a HVP-associated property and is not due to any innate inability of the baboon lymphoid cell to synthesize an antigen of the EBNA type.
