The content and relative biosynthetic rates of thymosin .beta.4 was determined in 28 different cell lines. The highest content of thymosin .beta.4 as well as the highest rate of biosynthesis was observed in Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human B-cell lines. The levels observed in these cells are 1 pg thymosin .beta.4 per cell, which is 3 times higher than that in rat peritoneal macrophages. Thus, these B-cell lines have the highest content of thymosin .beta.4 of any cell type yet described. Since all of the Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cells described here grow in suspension, it is unlikely that the presence of thymosin .beta.4 is related to anchorage in these cells. Thymosin .beta.4 is not secreted by viable Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells in culture, suggesting some intracellular function of the peptide. These B-cell lines may be suitable for the study of thymosin .BETA.4 function.
