Abstract

Using the protein immunoblot technique, antibodies to an Epstein-Barr virus-induced 92 kD polypeptide (EBNA-2) were more frequently present in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and their consanguineous relatives when compared with a control group. No association of anti-EBNA-2 antibody with the HLA-DR antigens was observed.
