In conversation Dr Denis Burkitt and Sir Anthony Epstein: Addendum
No full textFollowing four interviews with Max Blythe, Dr Denis Burkitt (1911-1993) is joined by former colleague Sir Anthony Epstein to discuss a first meeting in London in 1961 and discussion of a tumour of African children of fascinating geographical distribution. Sir Anthony then takes up the story of the collaborative relationship that ensued in which tumours from Burkitt working in Kampala were despatched to London's Bland Sutton Institute where numerous early attempts to isolate a virus from the tumour tissue failed. Various cell culture techniques were tried but a herpes-like virus was eventually isolated more by luck than judgement. There follows discussion of subsequent research on the implicated virus which proved more widespread and influential than anticipated - the EB virus. Discussion finally turns to progress in the development of a vaccine. It is a fascinating discussion in which the contributors exchange recollections of various lines of collaboration as well as one or two curious administrative barriers to their progress

The influence of African sculpture on British art, 1910-1930
No full textThis thesis aims to discuss the influence of African wood sculpture
on British art from 1910 to 1930. It proposes that the works, tastes and
pronouncements of various 20th century British artists betray this
influence and that although the British artists did not initially
understand the conceptual foundations of African sculpture their limited
knowledge was just sufficient for the modernization of British art
through the adaptation of the formal qualities of African art.
In assessing the validity of these propositions the thesis examines
the factors and issues that facilitated the influence. Chapter 1
discusses the formal qualities of African wood sculpture that attracted
the British artists. It outlines the unusual figural proportions, the
free and direct use of planar, linear and solid geometry, the treatment
of material and its surfaces.
The conceptual foundations of African sculpture are generally
outlined in Chapter 2. The extent to which the British artists
understood these foundations is also discussed.
Chapter 3 concerns the introduction of African sculpture to Britain
and discusses the development of the anthropological and subsequent
aesthetic interest that it aroused. Both the Post-Impressionist
Exhibitions and the Omega Workshops which facilitated its influence are
examined. Chapter 4 examines the concept and attempts to categorize the
nature of this influence.
The last three chapters act as case studies in which the impact of
African sculpture on Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska and Henry Moore is
examined. The conclusion discusses the term 'Primitive' and the British
artists and the 'Primitive
Characterization of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 glycoprotein B (gB) homolog: similarity to Epstein-Barr virus gB (gp110)
No full textMurine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) is a natural pathogen of murid rodents and displays similar pathobiological characteristics to those of the human gammaherpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). However, in contrast to EBV, MHV-68 will replicate in epithelial cells in vitro. It has therefore been proposed that MHV-68 may be of use as a model for the study of gammaherpesviruses, EBV in particular, both in vitro and in vivo. The EBV homolog of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein B (gB), termed gp110, is somewhat unusual compared with those of many other herpesviruses. We therefore decided to characterize the homolog of gB encoded by MHV-68 (termed MHV gB) to observe the properties of a gammaherpesvirus gB produced in epithelial cells and also to test the relatedness of MHV-68 and EBV. The MHV gB-coding sequence was determined from cloned DNA. The predicted amino acid sequence shared closest homology with gammaherpesvirus gB homologs. Biochemical analysis showed that MHV gB was a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 105,000. However, the glycans were of the N-linked, high-mannose type, indicating retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. In line with this, MHV gB was localized to the cytoplasm and nuclear margins of infected cells but was not detected on the cell surface or in virions. Additionally, anti-MHV gB antisera were nonneutralizing. Thus, the MHV gB was unlike many other herpesvirus gBs but was extremely similar to the EBV gB. This highlights the close relationship between MHV-68 and EBV and underlines the potential of MHV-68 as a model for EBV in epithelial cells both in vitro and in vivo
