ELISA reactivity of MCPyV monoclonal antibodies against MCPyV insertional mutants BC, DE, EF and HI.

open access: yes, 2015
In order to characterize the epitopes of the MCPyV VP1, the reactivity of mAbs was analyzed using the MCPyV wt VP1 VLPs and the four mutants with insertion within the BC, DE, EF and HI VP1 loops. ELISAs were performed using hybridoma culture supernatants

The small tumor antigen of Merkel cell polyomavirus accomplishes cellular transformation by uniquely localizing to the nucleus despite the absence of a known nuclear localization signal

open access: yesVirology Journal
Background Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer that is three times deadlier than melanoma. In 2008, it was found that 80% of MCC cases are caused by the genomic integration of a novel polyomavirus, Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV ...

Prognostic Factors Influencing Oncologic Outcomes in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Population‐Based Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of Skin Cancer, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aim/Objectives Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with a poorly understood etiology and lacking high‐level evidence to guide its management. This study examined the presentation and outcome related to MCC treatment at a Canadian center.

MCPyV LT-t and ST do not interact with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Fbw1 (β-TrCP).

open access: yes, 2019
(A) Fbw1, was assessed for its ability to co-immunoprecipitate MCPyV T antigens. 293A cells co-transfected with individual or combinations of Fbw7 (4.5μg), Fbw1 (3μg), MCPyV LT (5μg), MCPyV LT-t (10.5μg), or MCPyV ST (1μg).

Casein kinase 1α mediates phosphorylation of the Merkel cell polyomavirus large T antigen for β-TrCP destruction complex interaction and subsequent degradation

open access: yesmBio
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a double-stranded tumor virus that is the main causative agent of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The MCPyV large T antigen (LT), an essential viral DNA replication protein, maintains viral persistence by interacting with

Robust Production of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Oncogene Specific T Cells From Healthy Donors for Adoptive Transfer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Virus positive Merkel cell carcinoma (VP-MCC) is an aggressive but immunogenic skin malignancy driven by Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) T antigen (TAg). Since adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) can be effective against virus-driven malignancies, we set out

superT in MCPyV-associated MCC.

open access: yes, 2022
A. Sanger sequencing of an RT-PCR product from MCC J45_440, showing the superT-specific junction. B. A schematic detailing the MCC 285 MCPyV integration site, showing how it is possible that superT is generated via cis-splicing. C.

Novel human polyomaviruses, Merkel cell polyomavirus and human polyomavirus 9, in Japanese chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases

open access: yesJournal of Hematology & Oncology, 2012
Background Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the rarest adult leukemia in Japan, whereas it is the most common leukemia in the Western world. Recent studies from the United States and Germany suggest a possible etiological association between Merkel ...

Japanese Dermatological Association Guidelines: Clinical Questions of Guidelines for Merkel Cell Carcinoma 2025

open access: yesThe Journal of Dermatology, Volume 52, Issue 11, Page e954-e967, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly malignant skin cancer characterized by high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Although rare, the incidence has noticeably increased in recent years. It is also known to be a highly immunogenic tumor, and the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has begun for advanced cases.
