|November 1, 1977
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 tsponse 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.
