(1) Hull had worked on religious education with Cox when their posts overlapped in Birmingham and he was influenced not only by Cox’s research and thinking, but by that of some of Cox’s peers, including Harold Loukes and Ronald Goldman.
(2) We now compare the utility of four EBV-negative BL lines, BJAB, BL30, BL41, and Loukes, for isolating EBV recombinants and supporting their subsequent replication.
(3) The American Burkitt's lymphoma cell line Loukes was cotransfected with cloned BamHI K fragment of EBV DNA and a vector pSV2neo.
(4) In contrast, approximately 50% of infected BL41, BL30, or Loukes cell clones responded to lytic cycle induction.
(5) The methodology and results of a recent investigation by Louks, Freeman, and Calsyn (1978) are reviewed.
