Pathogenic effects of human herpesvirus 6 in human lymphoid tissue ex vivo.
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a potentially immunosuppressive agent that has been suggested to act as a cofactor in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus disease. However, the lack of suitable experimental models has hampered the elucidation of the mechanisms of HHV-6-mediated immune suppression. Here, we used ex vivo lymphoid tissue to investigate the cellular tropism and pathogenic...
متن کاملCpG oligodeoxynucleotides block human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in human lymphoid tissue infected ex vivo.
Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with immunomodulatory motifs control a number of microbial infections in animal models, presumably by acting through toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) to induce a number of cytokines (e.g., alpha interferon and tumor necrosis factor alpha). The immunomodulatory motif consists of unmethylated sequences of cytosine and guanosine (CpG motif). ODNs without CpG motifs do not t...
متن کاملAssociation of pityriasis rosea with Human Herpesvirus-6
Background: Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common papulosquamousskin disorder that is suspected to have an infectious etiology.We aimed to study the role of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) inthe pathogenesis of PR.Method: We used immunohistochemical (IHC) assays to detectHHV-6 in patients with PR. Fifty-one patients with PR and 35 ageand sex matched healthy control samples were enrolled in thestudy. Th...
متن کاملPrevalence and cellular reservoir of latent human herpesvirus 6 in tonsillar lymphoid tissue.
There are few studies that examine prevalence, quantity, and cellular proclivity of latent human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in healthy populations. We examined 69 tonsils with paired blood specimens from children without evidence of acute infection. By polymerase chain reaction (PCR), HHV-6 was detected at low levels in 100% of tonsils and 39% of blood samples (n = 27), suggesting that prevalence of...
متن کاملReactivation of human herpesvirus 6 during ex vivo expansion of circulating CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells.
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) replication was evaluated during in vitro expansion of CD34-positive cells that were selected from 11 peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) samples. In order to permit cellular differentiation towards the myeloid lineage, PBPCs were cultured for 14-21 days in a liquid, serum-free medium supplemented with interleukin 1 (IL1), IL3, IL6, granulocyte-macrophage colony-...
