Bovine leukemia virus genes in the DNA of leukemic cattle.
Reverse transcripts of the rna genome of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) as well as 125I-labeled BLV RNA hybridize to the DNA of tissues from leukemic cattle with the adult form of the disease but not to bovine thymic lymphoma or normal bovine tissues.
متن کاملPrevalence of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in the northeast of Iran
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) in Khorasan Razavi and Khorasan Shomali provinces which are the main provinces located in the northeast of Iran. Total number of 429 blood samples were collected from industrial dairy herds. The samples were categorized based on province, age (2-3, 4-6, and 7-10 years old), calving (≤ 2, 3-5, and > 5) and h...
متن کاملBovine Leukemia Virus DNA in Human Breast Tissue
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a deltaretrovirus, causes B-cell leukemia/lymphoma in cattle and is prevalent in herds globally. A previous finding of antibodies against BLV in humans led us to examine the possibility of human infection with BLV. We focused on breast tissue because, in cattle, BLV DNA and protein have been found to be more abundant in mammary epithelium than in lymphocytes. In hum...
متن کاملMolecular and Serological Evaluation of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Water Buffaloes of Southern Iran
BACKGROUND: Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic deltaretrovirus causing a persistent lifelong infection of B lymphocytes. In addition to the domestic cattle, the virus can also infect water buffaloes. OBJECTIVES: Recent investigations have demonstrated the increasing prevalence of BLV infection among cattle population in Iran. Large popul...
متن کاملSerological and genomic detection of bovine leukemia virus in human and cattle samples
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus responsible for lymphoproliferative disorders in cattle. Although infections of BLV in animals are well known, little is known about its capacity to infect humans. This study investigated the presence of anti-BLV antibodies and BLV proviruses in human and cattle samples. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti-BL...
