The flow cytometric analysis of telomere length in antigen-specific CD8+ T cells during acute Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Acute infectious mononucleosis (AIM) induced by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is characterized by extensive expansion of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. One potential consequence of this considerable proliferative activity is telomere shortening, which predisposes the EBV-specific cells to replicative senescence. To investigate this, a method was developed that enables the simultaneous iden...
متن کاملProgressive telomere shortening of Epstein-Barr virus-specific memory T cells during HIV infection: contributor to exhaustion?
Individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have low numbers of functional Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific CD8+ T cells in the face of a high EBV load, suggesting that these cells have become exhausted. We investigated whether the observed chronic EBV loads during HIV infection could cause exhaustion of EBV-specific T cells by using flow-FISH (flow cytometry in combination wi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Changes in NFKB Gene Expression Following Epstein-Barr Virus and its Participation in the Half-Life of Patients With Acute Epstein-Barr Positive Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Aim: Leukemia targets are one of the most common childhood malignancies. Epstein-Barr virus is a tumorigenic virus of the herpes family of viruses and causes primary infection in young children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the increase in NFKB expression following EBV virus and its contribution to the half-life of EBV-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. Materials and Meth...

Introduction: Epstein – Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus which establishes a persistent life-long infection in over 95% of adults world wide. Infection is usually asymptomatic but the virus is associated with a variety of disease, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL), Multiple sclerosis MS, EBV-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disease (BLPD), Hodgkin and non...
