   Sammanfattning : Abstract Herpesvirus infections are common and can cause serious and life-threatening conditions in transplanted individuals. In this thesis, consisting of 4 papers (I-IV), we investigated primary infection and reactivation of Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Human Herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6), Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in transplant patients.

   Sammanfattning : Background: Opportunistic viral infections can cause considerable morbidity and mortality in organ and stem cell transplanted (SCT) patients, mainly due to iatrogenic T cell dysfunction. Whereas in SCT patients, in general the immunosuppressive treatment can be discontinued after 6-12 months, for the majority of organ transplanted patients, the need for treatment is life-long.

4. 3. Epstein-Barr virus latency in transplant patients and healthy carriers

   Författare :Jie-Zhi Zou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I studied the latency situation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in bone marrow transplanted (BMT) patients and healthy virus carriers. Paper 1: Epstein-Barr virus genomes are found predominantly in lgA-positive B cells in the blood of healthy carriers. LÄS MER

5. 4. Regulation and expression of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 in transplant patients and cell culture

   Författare :Malin Berggren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :EBV;

   Sammanfattning : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpes virus that infects over 90% of the world population. Once infection has occurred, the virus persists for life in its host, mainly in an asymptomatic, latent stage with only a few active viral genes. LÄS MER

7. 5. Characterization of non-coding mRNA in Epstein-Barr virus

   Författare :Åsa Isaksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Epstein-Barr virus; EBNA1; IRES; PTLD; alternative splice; nucleotide substitution; protein interactions;

   Sammanfattning : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gammaherpesvirus that infects lymphoid and epithelial cells. The virus is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limiting lymphoproliferative disease, and it is additionally associated with various malignancies including Burkitt?s lymphoma, Hodgkin?s disease and lymphoproliferative syndromes in immunocompromised individuals.
