Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Strains in Patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 We investigated whether Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) patients in France carry Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and then identified strain variations. All frozen MCC specimens and 45% of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens, but none of the non ...

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus in Cutaneous Swabs
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 To assess the usefulness of using cutaneous swabs to detect Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA, we analyzed swabs from persons with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), others with skin diseases, and healthy volunteers.

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus DNA in Persons without Merkel Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA was detected in 88% of Merkel cell carcinomas in contrast to 16% of other skin tumors. MCPyV was also found in anogenital and oral samples (31%) and eyebrow hairs (50%) of HIV-positive men and in forehead swabs (62 ...

Merkel cell polyomavirus in Merkel cell carcinoma of Italian patients [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2011 Background Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but very aggressive human malignancy of elderly or immunosuppressed patients. Clonal integration of a new human polyomavirus, the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), has been reported in MCC patients.

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus and Merkel Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, highly aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer. More than 80% of MCC have Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) clonally integrated into the human genome (VP-MCC) while the remaining 20% are virus negative (VN-MCC) but ...

DETECTing Merkel Cell Polyomavirus in Merkel Tumors
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive skin cancer caused either by Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) T antigen expression, post-integration (~80% cases), or by UV-mediated DNA damage.

Histological, Immunohistological, and Clinical Features of Merkel Cell Carcinoma in Correlation to Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Status [PDF]
Journal of Skin Cancer, 2012 Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, but highly malignant tumor of the skin with high rates of metastasis and poor survival. Its incidence rate rises and is currently about 0.6/100000/year.

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus in Respiratory Tract Secretions
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), associated with Merkel cell carcinoma, was detected in 27 of 635 nasopharyngeal aspirate samples by real-time PCR. MCPyV was more commonly found in adults than in children.

Prospective study of merkel cell polyomavirus and risk of merkel cell carcinoma. [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, 2014 Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare type of skin cancer that has a characteristically increased incidence among immunosuppressed subjects. The DNA of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is regularly found in most MCC tumors.
