Abstract:
Immortalization of B lymphocytes by EBV is an effective procedure for inducing long-term growth of certain human B lymphocytes. The protocol described in this unit to accomplish this can be divided into three stages: preparation of virus, preparation of target cells to be immortalized, and EBV infection and growth of infected cells.
