  • Title: Antibodies to Epstein-Barr and other viruses in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
    Author: Sutton RN, Marston SD, Pullen HJ, Darby CW, Emond RT, Evans DI.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1974 Jul; 49(7):540-4. PubMed ID: 4368420.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-eight children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia were tested for antibodies to Epstein-Barr (EB) virus and to other viruses. The antibody response to the test viruses in these children was unremarkable, with the exception of EB virus, where the presence of complement-fixing antibodies in children tested during the first month of their illness suggested that a higher proportion had previous experience with this virus than was the case in control children. The implications of this observation with regard to leukaemogenesis are discussed.
