Abstract
Two-colour fluorescence (TRITC and FITC) has been adapted for the direct visualization of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-determined membrane antigens (MA) and to study their relationship to genetically determined iso-antigens (HL-A type) and to viral capsid antigens (VCA, as defined by the Henle test). The following three postulates, based on indirect deductions from previous blocking, cross-blocking and absorption experiments, could be confirmed by direct visual observation:
