Viral infections take the key place in medical practice. A large group of diseases are caused by adenoviral and herpes infection. As a rule, the investigations carried out in scientific laboratories are directed to the study of certain aspects of the interaction between the virus and the cell on the model of single infection. At the same time different viral infections at the level of macroorganism are constantly interacting with each other. The paper presents the studies on the selection of optimal models of lymphoblastoid cell lines for analysis of peculiarities of the mixed adeno-herpetic infection. The reproduction of human adenovirus type 5 and Epstein-Barr virus in the mono- and mixed infection in lymphoblastoid cell cultures of B-phenotype: B95-8, Raji, Namalwa have been studied. Both interfering and inhibiting action of viruses are shown. So EBV, which has a short 48-hour cycle of reproduction, inhibits the adenovirus at the given time. The obtained cell models of adeno-herpes infection will allow to study peculiarities of the antiviral action of etiotropic antiviral preparations in conditions of coinfection.
