  1. 6. Human herpesvirus 6 infection after allogeneic stem cell transplantation

    Författare :Fu-Zhang Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a lymphotropic virus mainly infecting T lymphocytes but also other types of cells. Seroepidemiological studies have shown that more than 90% of individuals older than 2 years are seropositive for HHV-6. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Pathogenesis of the recently identified human herpesviruses 6 and 8

    Författare :Malin Enbom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Two diseases that for many years have been suspected to be of viral origin are multiple sclerosis (MS) and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). By the use of a new technique called representational difference analysis both these diseases have recently been associated with new lymphotropic herpesviruses, i.e. human herpesviruses (HHV) 6 and 8.

  4. 8. Human herpesvirus-6 in multiple sclerosis : assay development, immune responses and host genetics

    Författare :Rasmus Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : MS is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS that implies impaired motor- and cognitive functions. Life expectancy is not severely affected but the disease has substantial negative effects on the quality of life of patients and their relatives. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Herpesvirus infections in transplant recipients

    Författare :Jenny K Lindahl; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allogeneic stem cell transplantation; Cytomegalovirus; Epstein-Barr virus; Human Herpesvirus type 6; Renal transplantation; Varicella zoster virus;

    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.

  7. 10. Differences i tropism and viral assembly pathways of human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) and association of host cell proteins in HHV-6A virions

    Författare :Jenny Ahlqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) are considered to be T-lymphotropic viruses. The overall nucleotide sequence identity between the two variants is 90% and each differs by only nine variant-specific open reading frames. HHV-6A and 6B have often been recognized as one virus and simply termed HHV-6. LÄS MER
