Abstract
We have examined if 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) enhances soft agar clonability in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected cells on the basis of interaction between EBV and TPA. When primary human cord blood lymphocytes (HUCLs) were exposed to two different strains of EBV (B95-8 and NPC-KT) and seeded in soft agar medium containing TPA (0.25 ng/ml), it was observed that the number of transformed colonies increased. However, TPA did not enhance the number of colonies in two EBV genome-positive epithelial hybrid cell lines (NPC-KT and D98/HR-1).
