The Human Herpes-Virus Proteases

2000
Viruses within the herpes-virus family are identified based primarily on morphology, as all herpes viruses contain a linear double-stranded DNA genome within an icosadeltahedral capsid, surrounded by a tegument and enclosed within a viral envelope.

Human Herpes virus 6 (HHV6)

1995
A new lymphotropic human herpes virus was isolated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders in 1986 and soon afterwards from peripheral blood of immunosuppressed patients. The isolates were called HHV6. A similar but antigenically different virus was later isolated from the blood of a healthy individual and ...

Intrahost genetic variability of human herpes virus‐8

Journal of Medical Virology, 2013
AbstractStudies were conducted to determine whether HHV‐8 hyperactivity could be the consequence of the propensity of the host to multiple HHV‐8 infection. The aim of the present work was to investigate HHV‐8 intrahost genetic variability. HHV‐8 subgenomic DNA was amplified by PCR from patients infected with HIV, health care workers (HCW) and bone ...

Human Herpes Virus 8 in Solid Organ Transplantation

Transplantation, 2011
Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a geographically limited virus that causes neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases predominantly in endemic regions. Primary HHV-8 infection, which is usually asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, result in lifelong latency.

Typing of herpes simplex virus from human periodontium

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 2001
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is frequently detected in gingival crevicular fluid and in gingival biopsies of periodontal lesions; however, the relative occurrence of HSV type 1 and 2 in periodontal specimens has not been established. This investigation used type‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of HSV‐1 and HSV‐2 in ...

Human herpes virus 6, 7, 8

2021
This chapter deals with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), and Kaposi's sarcoma virus or human herpesvirus-8 (KSV/HHV-8). Herpesviruses consist of large double-stranded DNA packaged inside an icosahedral capsid, which is surrounded by a mixture of protein tegument and an outer lipid envelope where the viral glycoprotein spikes ...

Specific Herpes Simplex Virus Antigen in Human Gingiva

Journal of Periodontology, 1983
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1) specific antigens were found to be present in the sulcular epithelial cells of patients that were undergoing periodontal treatment. Four out of 14 cases were positive to specific HSV‐1 antigen, as demonstrated by the indirect immunofluorescent assay. No nuclear staining was seen in any epithelial cells.

Chronic Lymphadenopathies and Human Herpes Virus Type 8

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002
Human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) is predominantly associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. Nothing is known about its manifestation in primary infection. We report an HIV-negative patient with chronic polyadenitis and lymphocytosis that may have been related to a primary HHV-8 infection.

Photoreactivation of herpes simplex virus in human fibroblasts

Nature, 1975
WHEN DNA is treated with ultraviolet light (220–300 nm) cyclobutyl pyrimidine dimers are produced between adjacent pyrimidines on a strand of DNA1. These dimers are a major cause of mutations and death in simple organisms after ultraviolet-irradiation1, and they have been implicated in the induction of skin cancer in man2,3.

Human herpes virus 8: a new virus discloses its face

Virchows Archiv, 2000
The human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) is present in all Kaposi's sarcoma, and the detection of the virus using polymerase chain reaction or in situ hybridization is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic test for the diagnosis of this neoplasm.
