Frequent detection of human polyomavirus 6 in keratoacanthomas [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: The recent discovery of the Merkel cell polyomavirus and its consistent association with Merkel cell carcinoma has drawn attention to the numerous recently discovered polyomaviruses and their possible involvement in the etiopathogenesis of ...

Prokineticins and Merkel cell polyomavirus infection in Merkel cell carcinoma [PDF]
British Journal of Cancer, 2014 Prokineticin-1 (PROK1) and prokineticin-2 (PROK2) are chemokine-like proteins that may influence cancer growth by regulating host defence and angiogenesis. Their significance in viral infection-associated cancer is incompletely understood. We studied prokineticins in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a skin cancer linked with Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)

Identification of the neutralizing epitopes of Merkel cell polyomavirus major capsid protein within the BC and EF surface loops. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the first polyomavirus clearly associated with a human cancer, i.e. the Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Polyomaviruses are small naked DNA viruses that induce a robust polyclonal antibody response against the major capsid

Production of recombinant VP1-derived virus-like particles from novel human polyomaviruses in yeast [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Eleven new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been identified in the last decade. Serological studies show that these novel HPyVs sub-clinically infect humans at an early age.

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.

Regulation of Polyomavirus Transcription by Viral and Cellular Factors
Viruses, 2020 Polyomavirus infection is widespread in the human population. This family of viruses normally maintains latent infection within the host cell but can cause a range of human pathologies, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
