The quantitative analysis of the cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus was performed on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patients with infectious mononucleosis, by using in situ hybridization with Epstein-Barr virus encoded small nuclear RNA1 (EBER1). An alkaline-phosphatase conjugated oligonucleotide probe complementary to EBER1 was used as an antisense probe, while oligonucleotide DNA probe compatible with the sequence of EBER1 was used as a sense probe, control probe. The EBER1 positive cells on the slide-glass were enumerated microscopically. In situ hybridization revealed that 50,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patients in the acute phase of infectious mononucleosis contained 35 +/- 36 cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus (n = 11). The cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus apparently decreased in the convalescence of all the patients with infectious mononucleosis and the mean of the cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus was 3 +/- 4 in the convalescence (n = 6) (p < 0.02). On the other hand, no positive cells were detected in healthy individuals with past-infection of Epstein-Barr virus (n = 10) or without any previous Epstein-Barr virus infection (n = 11). The striking increase of the cells with Epstein-Barr virus genome was clearly demonstrated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patients with infectious mononucleosis.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
