Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of 10 cases of infectious mononucleosis has revealed increased damage in the form of chromosome breakage and aberrations typical of viral infection, but in addition a few cells were consistently found to harbour a deleted number 22, similar to the Philadelphia chromosome. The presence of a plasma inhibitor of lymphocyte response to the mitogen phytohaemagglutinin is suggested. This inhibitor appears to have a reversible action on the patient's own lymphocytes but no inhibitory effect on control lymphocytes.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
