Zusammenfassung: | A new human B-lymphotropic virus (HBLV) has been isolated. DNA, molecular clones, antigenic viral proteins and antibodies having specificity to the new virus have been prepared. A method for obtaining HBLV particles has the steps of growing a co-culture of infected patient blood with uninfected suitable target cells, isolating infected cells from the culture cell cloning, multiplying the infected cells by serial transmission, isolating a virus from the infected cell culture, and concentrating the virus. Various utilities of the new virus and products derived therefrom are described. Methods for detecting the presence of HBLV in a patient suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome; and for detecting antibodies specific to HBLV membrane antigens in human serum suspected of being infected with HBLV are also described. |
