Materials and MethodsSera. Two hundred twenty sera were obtained from 28 male and 15 female university students (17-29 years of age) with heterophile antibody-positive IM. Serological techniques. IgG and IgM antibodies to VCA were measured by previously established methods. Reactivity to EBNA was detected by anticomplement immunofluorescence on Raji cells; the complement source was a fresh, frozen human serum lacking antibody to EBV. BamHI-K nuclear antigen was expressed in mouse LTK-cells that had been cotransformed with the BamHI-K frag-ment of EBV DNA and the thymidine-kinase gene of herpes simplex virus. Cells were grown in six-well chambers on Microtekr slides for two to three days after trypsinization. The slides were then fixed for 10 min at room tem-perature in a 2: 1 mixture of acetone and methanol. Test sera were initially screened at a 1: 5 dilution by anticomplement immunofluorescence on transformed L cells contain-ing BamHI-K nuclear antigen and were later titered [12]. Specimens. Throat washings consisted of 20-ml gargles of RPMI 1640 culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and antibiotics. The washings were stored at-70 C until tested for EBV. Transformation of
