Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus–related Gammaretrovirus in Respiratory Tract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related gammaretrovirus (XMRV) has been recently associated with prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome. To identify nucleic acid sequences, we examined respiratory secretions by using PCR. XMRV-specific sequences were detected in 2%-3% of samples from 168 immunocompetent carriers and approximately 10% of samples from 161 immunocompromised patients.

Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus proviral DNA not detected in blood samples donated in Japan.
The xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was first described as a novel human gammaretrovirus in prostate tumor tissues and was reported to be found in blood, suggesting the possibility of XMRV transmission via blood transfusion. The gag and env regions of the XMRV proviral DNA that were detected 1,030 blood samples collected from the greater Tokyo area were examined by rea...
متن کاملLack of Detection of Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus in HIV-1 Lymphoma Patients
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus reported to be associated with human prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome. Since retroviruses cause various cancers, and XMRV replication might be facilitated by HIV-1 co-infection, we asked whether certain patients with HIV-associated lymphomas are infected with XMRV. Analysis of PMBCs and plasma from 26 patient...
متن کاملEndogenous Murine Leukemia Viruses: Relationship to XMRV and Related Sequences Detected in Human DNA Samples
Xenotropic-murine-leukemia-virus-related virus (XMRV) was the first gammaretrovirus to be reported in humans. The sequence similarity between XMRV and murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) was consistent with an origin of XMRV from one or more MLVs present as endogenous proviruses in mouse genomes. Here, we review the relationship of the human and mouse virus isolates and discuss the potential complic...

Background: Despite of isolation of Xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV) from the patients acquired prostate cancer in 2006 and patients with chronic fatigue syndrome in 2009, there have been controversial findings about its potential role in human diseases and frequencies in different population groups. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of XMRV genome ...
متن کاملAndrogen-independent proliferation of LNCaP prostate cancer cells infected by xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus.
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a novel gammaretrovirus that was originally isolated from human prostate cancer. It is now believed that XMRV is not the etiologic agent of prostate cancer. An analysis of murine leukemia virus (MLV) infection in various human cell lines revealed that prostate cancer cell lines are preferentially infected by XMRV, and this suggested that ...
