polymerase chain reaction for detection of kaposi’s sarcoma virus in breast tumors

چکیده
human herpes virus 8 (hhv8) causes kaposi’s sarcoma, a common cancer among aids patients. it is proposed that this virus plays a role in formation of some blood vessel and lymphoma tumors. this study aimed to investigate the frequency of kshv among benign and malignant breast tumors. a total of 24 carcinomas and 24 fibroadenomas paraffin embedded tumoral tissue samples were obtained from the pathology sections of toos and firoozgar hospitals in tehran, iran. all samples had been collected from patients during a period of time effective from june 2013 to february 2014. dna was extracted from all samples and their infection with hhv8 was examined by pcr technique. the results obtained by this study showed that 6 out of 24 carcinoma samples (25%) were infected by kshv, while the number of fibroadenoma samples infected by this virus was 9 (37.5%). the frequency of hhv8 infection was different among malignant and benign tumors. based on the results obtained by this study, kshv was observed in both benign and malignant tumors. since kshv was observed in both types of tumors therefore, it may not have significant relationship with tumor type. the role of kshv in vessel tumors has been proved by many studies during the past decade. some other studies have also defined a role for this virus in formation of breast fibroadenoma tumor. therefore, further studies are needed to define the influence of this virus in breast tumors formation.

Egg drop syndrome (EDS) is caused by a hemagglutinating adenovirus which has become a major cause of lost egg production and sever economic losses in breeder and layer chicken flocks throughout the world. A PCR assay was optimized for detection of EDS virus in inoculated allantoic fluids (AFs) of duck and chicken emberyonated eggs. Two strains of EDS viruses were propagated in allantoic cavit...

Marek’s disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of chickens characterized by lymphocyticinfiltration of various organs. The present study was an attempt to use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tooptimize a rapid and reliable assay for detection of MDV genome. Detection of serotype 1 of MDV (MDV-1)was confirmed by presence of a 200 bp DNA fragment as a PCR product. Differentiation of MDV-1 ...
