Systemic sclerosis following human cytomegalovirus infection.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by skin and visceral organ involvement. 2 The cause of SSc is still unknown; it has been suggested that one or more factors may be responsible for the disease through a complex pathogenic mechanism. 4 Immune system dysregulation, collagen hyperproduction by altered fibroblasts, and vascular alterations can variably contribute...
متن کاملOptimization of PCR-ELISA in Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
Abstract Background and Objective: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of congenital viral infection that can lead to serious diseases and complications in infants. Application of rapid, sensitive, and specific HCMV detection methods is necessary for congenital infection detection. We aimed to optimize the use of PCR and ELISA for detection of HCMV in infants. Material and Methods...
متن کاملA Novel Human Cytomegalovirus Locus Modulates Cell Type-Specific Outcomes of Infection
Clinical strains of HCMV encode 20 putative ORFs within a region of the genome termed ULb' that are postulated to encode functions related to persistence or immune evasion. We have previously identified ULb'-encoded pUL138 as necessary, but not sufficient, for HCMV latency in CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) infected in vitro. pUL138 is encoded on polycistronic transcripts that also ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection in Iranian Prostate Cancer Patients
Background and Aim: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has the potential for oncogenicity and has been associated with many malignancies, including prostate cancer. This study aimed to investigate the genomic prevalence of HCMV in prostate cancer tumors. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 31 patients with prostate cancer were enrolled along with 31 patients with benign prostate cance...
متن کاملIncreased mutation frequency following treatment with cancer chemotherapy.
The relationship between somatic mutation and cancer was studied by measuring in vivo mutation frequency and in vitro mutability using lymphocytes from 28 untreated adult patients with solid tumors, 14 untreated patients with lymphoma, and 27 patients with solid tumors or lymphoma who had been treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. In vivo mutation frequency in untreated patients did no...
