Cell lines were derived from mice with murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-
68)-associated lymphoproliferative disease. Four were of an ambiguous
phenotype and were MHV-68 negative. One, S11, was a B lymphocyte that
contained MHV-68 genomes in both linear and episomal forms and released
virus. The line was clonable and grew into tumors in nude mice. This is the
first naturally occurring MHV-68-positive B-cell line to be generated, and
it will be an invaluable tool for the study of MHV-68 latency.
