Males (11) with XLP against EBV-infected cells was abnormally low in 6 patients and was elevated in 2 patients given .gamma.-globulin. ADCC titers did not correlate with anti-VCA titers. Most patients with XLP failed to effect regression of autologous EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines, indicating a deficiency in long-lived T cell-mediated immunity to EBV.
