Extractions: How is Epstein-Barr Virus Transmitted? EBV is found in the saliva of the host and is mainly transmitted through close personal contact involving the exchange of saliva. EBV has been called ìthe kissing diseaseî since EBV can be transmitted by the exchange of saliva during kissing. EBV can also be transmitted by sharing utensils or drinking containers. Transmission in the air or by blood is very rare. (O.R.R. et al., 1981) Where is Epstein-Barr Virus Found? EBV primarily infects the oropharynx specifically the salivary glands and oral mucosal membrane as well as the nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue. Viral replication takes place in these locations and insures the production of more virus to be passed on to new hosts through saliva. After infection of the oropharynx and nasopharyngeal tissues, EBV infects B-Cells where replication of the virus may also occur, but most importantly EBV can enter a state of latency within the B-Cells allowing it to remain dormant within the host for the remainder of the individual's lifetime. (Baumforth et al., 1999)

Extractions: DESCRIPTION: EBV is tropic for B lymphocytes which apparently are infected in the oropharynx through salivary exchange; infected B cells then circulate in the blood and are distributed to the bone marrow and lymphoreticular system. The virus can also be found in infected epithelial cells of the buccal mucosa, salivary glands, tongue and endocervix. This suggests that chronic epithelial replication brings about continuous reinfection of B lymphoid cells. Immune T cell responses to latently infected B cells account for the clinical findings. All seropositive persons actively shed virus in the saliva.

http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/ste122094.asp

Extractions: The Epstein-Barr virus infects almost everyone by the age of 40 and usually does not cause any illness. However, it can cause mononucleosis (mono) and is associated with some types of cancer, such as Burkitt's lymphoma and cancers of the mouth. The virus lives in a person's salivary glands and can be spread through saliva, such as by kissing or sharing drinking glasses or eating utensils.

Extractions: The test is primarily used to detect whether first time infection (called primary infection) with the Epstein-Barr virus is currently occurring, or has occurred within a short period of time. The pattern of the antibodies detected can, however, tell if the person has never been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, or if the infection occurred in the more distant past. These tests are mostly utilized in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis when the more common diagnostic test, the heterophile antibody, is negative, or in situations where the infection is manifesting unusual symptoms. Therefore, the tests are often not needed in a situation where a doctor believes that a person has mononucleosis and the heterophile test (also called the monospot test) is positive. In addition, Epstein-Barr virus testing is usually not needed in the evaluation of a patient who has long-lasting fatigue, and may have the

http://www.arthritis.org/research/ResearchUpdate/04Jan_Feb/EB.asp

Extractions: Epstein-Barr virus is one of the most common viruses that infect humans, generally resulting in a very mild and brief illness in children. When EBV affects adolescents or young adults, it can result in infectious mononucleosis, a condition that results in fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands and severe fatigue. Although symptoms usually stop within a few months, EBV remains dormant or latent in the body for the rest of the infected person's life and can become reactivated. EBV infection is more common in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) but it is not clear whether this is a cause or effect of a faulty immune system in these individuals. In addition, people with lupus often take drugs that suppress the immune system, making them more susceptible to infections and cancer. To help prevent these complications, research is needed to better understand how the immune system in people with lupus defends against foreign invaders.

Â»Â Epstein-Barr Virus Epstein-Barr virus is a human herpesvirus that infects most people in the world early in life and then persists life-long. Primary EBV infection that is delayed until adolescence or adulthood frequently causes infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever). Most carriers of EBV show no symptoms or pathology but in some circumstances EBV is associated with human cancers, the virus normally being present in all of the tumor cells of an EBV associated case. These cancers include lymphomas in immunosuppressed people (either as a result of medication after transplant surgery or AIDS), Hodgkin's disease, Burkitt's lymphoma in central Africa, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in South-East Asia and some gastric carcinomas. EBV infects human B lymphocytes and certain epithelial cells; infection of lymphocytes is readily accomplished in the laboratory and EBV drives the cells into a state of permanent proliferation.

Extractions: dqmcodebase = "/js/script/" //script folder location Site Map Contact Us Members Only Home Media Room :: Fact Sheets EBV Research Program PDF VERSION Links to more information Epstein-Barr Virus or EBV, is a common infection that affects more than 90% of the world's population. EBV is one of the herpes virus group, sharing the ability to remain latent or dormant within the body and reactivate when the immune system is compromised or suppressed. What makes EBV unusual, and what is not commonly known, is that EBV is more than just a 'kissing disease'. EBV causes different diseases depending on which part of the world you live in, unlike any other herpes virus. In industrialised nations, EBV causes a debilitating but relatively harmless infection; a bout of glandular fever is almost expected in adolescents, with the effect of disruption to studies for months. In developing countries, primary EBV infection mostly occurs in childhood and is generally without symptoms, resulting in life-long latency and early development of immunity. 80% of people carry latent EBV; a healthy immune system normally holds the virus in check, but the virus may be a hazard to those with a compromised immune system such as in organ transplant patients or those with HIV.

Extractions: Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) July 25, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose Healthy normal volunteers 18 years of age and older of Caucasian or Chinese ancestry may be eligible for this study. Candidates of Chinese ancestry must be born in China (including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, or be first generation offspring of parents born in these places). Participants will have a blood sample drawn and will undergo lymphapheresis - a procedure for collecting large numbers of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The blood sample is tested for blood counts and HLA type, a genetic marker of the immune system. HLA molecules help determine the way the body's immune cells respond to virus. HLA typing is similar to blood typing. Usually done to match stem cell or organ transplants, HLA testing may also be used to try to identify factors associated with an increased risk of certain diseases or conditions. HLA type is strongly associated with ethnic background. For lymphapheresis, blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein, similar to donating blood. The blood flows from the vein through a catheter (plastic tube) into a machine that separates it into its components by centrifugation (spinning). The white cells are removed and the rest of the blood (red cells, plasma and platelets) is returned to the body through a needle in the other arm. The procedure takes 2 to 3 hours. The collected white cells are used for research for this study, including the ability to react to EBV proteins, and are then destroyed.

Extractions: Verified by Baylor College of Medicine August 2004 Sponsors and Collaborators: Baylor College of Medicine Texas Children's Hospital The Methodist Hospital Information provided by: Baylor College of Medicine ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose In normal people, the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus infection causes a flu like illness (sometimes called infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever or kissing disease) and usually gets better when the immune system controls the infection. The virus, however, remains hidden in the body for life. After a transplant, while the new immune system is growing back, the EB virus can come out and infect cells and cause them to grow in an uncontrolled manner. Patients can develop fevers, swollen lymph nodes and damage to other organs such as kidneys and lungs. This infection acts like a cancer because the cells infected with EB virus grow very quickly and there is no known effective treatment. This sort of infection will occur in between 10-30% of patients receiving a transplant from a donor who is not a perfect match, and has been fatal in nearly all these cases. This infection occurs because the immune system cannot control the growth of the cells. We want to see if we can prevent it from happening or treat it by giving patients a kind of white blood cell called T cells that we have grown from the marrow donor. These cells have been trained to attack EB virus infected cells.

The authors suggest that EBV might play an indirect role in MS as an activator of the underlying disease process. This could therefore, have some clinical significance in the treatment of this difficult condition.
