Regarding human cytomegalovirus in neuroblastoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wolmer-Solberg et al., reported that six human neuroblastoma cell lines and the vast majority of clinical neuroblastoma samples contained HCMV DNA and expressed HCMV proteins. We could not replicate the data and therefore remain skeptical towards the prevalence of HCMV DNA in neuroblastomas.

Immunoglobulin GM allotypes as effect modifiers of cytomegalovirus-spurred neuroblastoma.
An uncommon immunoglobulin GM (γ marker) genotype has been reported to be strongly associated with susceptibility to neuroblastoma, but the mechanism(s) underlying this association is not known. Increasing evidence implicates human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. HCMV has evolved a large repertoire of sophisticated strategies to evade host immunosurveillance. Partic...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin GM Genes, Cytomegalovirus Immunoevasion, and the Risk of Glioma, Neuroblastoma, and Breast Cancer
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a common herpes virus, has been reported to be a risk factor for many diseases, including malignant diseases such as glioma, neuroblastoma, and breast cancer. Some of the HCMV-associated diseases (e.g., glioma) are rare. The question arises: how could a common virus be associated with uncommon diseases? Interactions between a major gene complex of the human immune ...

Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
متن کاملResponse to "Human cytomegalovirus infection in tumor cells of the nervous system is not detectable with standardized pathologico-virological diagnostics".
BACKGROUND Experimental findings have suggested that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection of tumor cells may exert oncomodulatory effects that enhance tumor malignancy. However, controversial findings have been published on the presence of HCMV in malignant tumors. Here, we present the first study that systematically investigates HCMV infection in human nervous system tumors by highly sensiti...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus in Semen of infertile Men in Tehran
Background and Aims: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can induce latency and evade the immune system. The latent virus can reactive later in older ages and due to immunosuppressive conditions. Sexually transmitted diseases and viruses can influence the male reproductive system, and members of the Herpesviridae family are one of these important viruses. Regarding the importance of herpesviruses, spe...
