Multiple Epstein-Barr virus infections in healthy individuals.
We employed a newly developed genotyping technique with direct representational detection of LMP-1 gene sequences to study the molecular epidemiology of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in healthy individuals. Infections with up to five different EBV genotypes were found in two of nine individuals studied. These results support the hypothesis that multiple EBV infections of healthy individual...

Recebido em: 19 de Março de 2010 Aceite em: 13 de Novembro de 2010 Introduction: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persists for long periods in latent state inside B-lymphocytes after primary infections, and reactivation usually occurs associated to immunosuppression conditions of the host. Recently, the detection of EBV DNA in circulation has been suggested as a predictor marker for the development...
متن کاملComparison of Epstein Barr virus antibodies and Tcell cytokines production in patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy individuals
Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disease of central nervous system with destruction of myelin sheath mediated by auto reactive CD4+ T Lymphocytes. Because of the possible role of Epstein-Barr virus in etiology of MS and T cells immune response, the aim of this study was to evaluate anti-Epstein Barr virus antibodies as a marker of reactivity and p...

A technique using indirect immunoperoxidase antibody was developed for the detection of specific serum IgA antibody to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen and early antigen. The IgA technique was compared with an immunofluorescence antibody method. Epstein-Barr virus IgA antibody against viral capsid antigen was detected in all nine patients with Epstein-Barr virus associated undifferentiated nas...
متن کاملFrequency of multiple Epstein-Barr virus infections in T-cell-immunocompromised individuals.
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) carrier state is characterized by latent infection of the general B-cell pool and by chronic virus replication at oropharyngeal sites. In Caucasian populations, most healthy carriers seem to harbor one dominant transforming virus strain, usually of type I rather than type 2, which persists over time and is detectable both in the blood and in the throat. This finding...
