Interleukin 28B gene polymorphisms and Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases.
OBJECTIVES Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the interleukin (IL) 28B gene encoding a type III interferon (IFN-λ) are the most important genetic predictors of treatment response to hepatitis C virus (HCV). This retrospective study was undertaken to determine any association between IL28B SNPs and the development of viraemia in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven acute infectious mononucle...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorders: experimental and clinical developments.
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the first human virus related to oncogenesis, was initially identified in a Burkitt lymphoma cell line in 1964. EBV infects over 90% of the world's population. Most infected people maintain an asymptomatic but persistent EBV infection lifelong. However, in some individuals, EBV infection has been involved in the development of cancer and autoimmune disease. Nowadays, o...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
We describe a patient that developed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), which presented as interstitial pneumonia. He had received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia 17 months before, when he developed hypoxemia requiring emergent admission. Chest computed tomography revealed pulmonary interst...
متن کاملassociation between epstein-barr virus infection and b-cell lymphoproliferative diseases: a case-control study
results of the 89 subjects, 53 were male and 36 females, aged 14 to 82 years. there was no significant difference between ebv seroprevalence in the patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma, and the healthy subjects. conclusions the results of the current study indicated no relationship between latent ebv infection and lymphoma or multiple myeloma. however, further studies with larger sample ...
متن کاملRecent advances on Epstein Barr virus and associated diseases.
This is by far the most active area of research on EBV EBV infection immortalises B-lymphocytes resulting in a proliferating lymphoblastoid cell line of transformed B-cells with EBV in 'latency'. During latency, EBV DNA and latent proteins (EBV nuclear proteins, latent membrane protein, terminal protein) are detectable intracellularly. At any one time, only a very small proportion of infected c...
