Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Human herpes virus 8 antibodies in HIV-positive patients in Surabaya, Indonesia

Infectious Disease Reports, 2020
Background: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is etiologically related to Kaposi’s sarcoma. Antibodies directed against HHV-8 can be detected in 80%–95% of HIV-seropositive patients with KS. HHV-8 serological tests have been done in several countries

Peroxisomes support human herpesvirus 8 latency by stabilizing the viral oncogenic protein vFLIP via the MAVS-TRAF complex. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is causally related to human malignancies. HHV-8 latent viral FLICE-inhibitory protein (vFLIP) is a viral oncoprotein that is linked to pathogenesis, but how its expression is regulated is largely unknown.

Establishment of HHV-8-positive and HHV-8-negative lymphoma cell lines from primary lymphomatous effusions [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, 1997
Primary lymphomatous effusions are represented by cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) which grow in liquid phase in the serous body cavities in the absence of solid tumour masses. Based on morphologic, immunophenotypic, virologic and genotypic features, primary lymphomatous effusions are distinguished into body cavity-based lymphoma (BCBL), Burkitt's

A Relapsing Inflammatory Syndrome and HHV-8 [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2005
to the editor: The case of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) reported by Dagna et al. (July 14 issue)1 is considered to be distinct from HHV-8–associated multicentric Castleman’s disease owing to the absence of typical histologic findings and elevated plasma levels of interleukin-6.

Detection of human herpesvirus 8 by quantitative polymerase chain reaction: development and standardisation of methods

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the aetiological agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD), and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is rare in Australia, but endemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, parts of South-east Asia and ...

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Dendritic cells: Key players in human herpesvirus 8 infection and pathogenesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8; Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus that primarily infects cells of the immune and vascular systems.
