Immunoregulation During Acute Infection with Epstein-Barr Virus: Dynamics of Interferon and 2′,5′-Oligoadenylate Synthetase Activity

Immunoregulation during acute infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is incompletely understood, although species of interferon (IFN) may be important immunoregulatory molecules. IFN, 2′,5′-oligoadenylate (2′,5′-A) synthetase (an IFN-induced enzyme), T and natural killer cell subsets, and natural a...

Zusammenfassung:Immunoregulation during acute infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is incompletely understood, although species of interferon (IFN) may be important immunoregulatory molecules. IFN, 2′,5′-oligoadenylate (2′,5′-A) synthetase (an IFN-induced enzyme), T and natural killer cell subsets, and natural and anomalous killer cell functions were studied systematically during acute infectious mononucleosis. Serum IFN was not detected (
