Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infectivity was measured by two different systems. One was EBV-specific antigen (EBNA) induction in EBV-negative BJAB cells, the other was immortalization of human peripheral blood B-lymphocytes upon EBV infection. Because the sensitivity of the EBNA-induction assay, which takes 2–3 days, was similar with that of B-cell immortalization, which takes 6–8 weeks, the former can be used for the rapid and convenient determination of EBV-infectivity.
