Cell strain capable of multiplying an Epstein-Barr virus

摘要

The present invention relates to a cell strain capable of separating and multiplying an EB virus and derived from human lymphocyte cancer cells and a method of separating and multiplying the EB virus by means of said cell strain. The present cell strain can be applied to the separation and multiplication of the wild type virus present in various places, as well as to the separation and multiplication of the virus produced by homologous recombination etc. The virus newly separated and multiplied can be applied to vaccine etc. For the more efficient separation and multiplication of the virus, several markers can be inserted into the present cell strain.
