Abstrakt: Four lymphoid cell cultures obtained from Papio hamadryads with malignant lymphomas were studied. The cultured cells produced two lymphotropic EBV-like herpes virus of Papio (HVP) and T-lymphotropic monkey retrovirus STLV-1 (HTLV-1 family) or HVP alone. More than 100 subcultured cell lines were shown to remain mixed B- and T-cellular, the levels of T cells of different subpopulations were 15-50%. Cytogenetic investigations showed that one of the 4 cultures was tumorogenic and the others were derived from the normal cells of monkeys with malignant lymphomas. It is suggested that the presence of a cultural virus (viruses) may affect the karyotypes of cells.
