What is recorded here?
Reported electron-microscopic observation of herpes-like virus particles in cultured lymphoblasts derived from Burkitt lymphoma, providing a concrete candidate for a human tumor-associated virus.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact three-author 1964 Lancet report. Observation of virus particles in cultured cells did not by itself prove causal oncogenesis, and later EBV characterization, epidemiology and disease associations remain distinct.
