Cytomegalovirus PCR Analysis of Serum and Ocular Swab Samples in Patients with Inflammatory Eye Disease
Abstract Background and Aims: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is very common in the population. Virus belongs to the family Herpesviridae, whose representatives are characterized by the ability to cause the human body's latent persistent infections. The goal of the study is to assess the CMVV infection frequency and PCR method in the choice of CMV in inflammatory eye disease, Comparing wit...
متن کاملThe latent cytomegalovirus decreases telomere length by microcompetition
Reduced telomere length has been associated with aging and age-related diseases. Latent infection with the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) induces telomere shortening in the infected cells. Latent CMV infection may cause reduced telomere length via GABP transcription factor deficiency, according to the Microcompetition Theory. Microcompetition and viral-induced transcription factor deficiency is importan...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
متن کاملGene expression analysis of HCMV latent infection
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects a large percentage of humans worldwide [1]. In most individuals, HCMV establishes a largely asymptomatic latent infection. It can, however, lead to serious disease in immunocompromised individuals, and HCMV infection of the fetus is a common cause of congenital defects. Because it produces relatively few symptoms, HCMV latency was largely thought to be quies...
متن کاملInterleukin-4 induces mouse cytomegalovirus interstitial pneumonia in a latent infection model.
To better understand immune mechanisms involved in onset of cytomegalovirus pneumonia, we initially examined the replication of a low virulence strain of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) in nude and BALB/c mice infected by intranasal inoculation. MCMV was detected by plaque assay in the salivary glands of nude mice from days 3 to 16, and in those of BALB/c mice from days 7 to 11. Nude mice became i...
