Studies on the association of the Epstein-Barr virus genome and human chromosomes

Abstract
We have used human‐mouse somatic cell hybrid cells to study the association between the EBV genome and the cellular genome. Attempts were made to identify a specific human chromosome(s) with which the EBV genome is associated. Our data suggest that at least in the mouse fibroblast/Burkitt lymphoma hybrid combination studied, the EBV genome is not associated with any specific human chromosome.
