An association has been found between the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) and complement (C3d) receptors on human lymphoid cells. The evidence was fourfold: there was a correlation between the expression of these two receptors; inhibition experiments showed that the binding sites probably are close to each other in the cell membrane, although not identical; EBV and complement receptors have been found to co‐cap in either order; and lymphoid cell lines lacking complement receptors could not be superinfected with EBV.
