Abstract

SUMMARY

The relationship between the receptors for the Epstein—Barr virus (EBV) and the C3d fragment of complement was investigated at the molecular level. In the presence of cell-bound C3, virus binding was enhanced in EBV genome-carrying lines. An identical effect could be elicited by C3d at one-quarter the weight amount; C3b and methylamine-treated C3 had no effect on virus binding. The minimum concentration of C3 which produced significant enhancement was 25 µg/ml. Virus binding increases were observed only after 20 min of complement-cell co-incubation. The response was not noted with EBV-negative lines and was independent of virus strain assayed (B95-8 and P3HR-1). These studies suggest that the binding sites for the two moieties are distinct, although they both involve the same cell surface complex. The two receptors are believed to display cooperativity.
