B lymphocytes from human blood were treated with the mitogen Protein A (Staphylococcus, aureus), which induces DNA synthesis in, as well as differentiation of, the B lympohocytes. The cells were subsequently exposed to Epstain-Barr virus (EBV). EBV-infected and mitogen-stimulated cells were detected simultaneously by using a combination of immunofluorescence (for EBNA [EBV nuclear antigen]) and autoradiography (for DNA-synthesis). In the initial phase (1-2 days) after addition of the mitogen, stimulated cells were as susceptible to infection as resting cells. Thereafter, their susceptibility decreased. Although initiation of DNA-synthesis does not seem to limit sensitivity to the viral infection, differentiation of the B cells might do so. The intensity and pattern of EBNA-staining in prestimulated cells differed from that of the controls.
