Abstract
Serological tests on 96 Burkitt lymphoma patients reveal antibody activity against virus-determined membrane antigen and viral capsid antigen while nucleic acid hybridization results on Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma add confirmatory evidence of an intimate association between the viral genome and the two diseases.
