| characterization of human papillomavirus 3 in warts of a renal allograft patient. | multiple flat wart-like lesions of a renal allograft recipient were shown to contain hpv 3 or a serologically crossreacting virus by indirect immunofluorescence with monospecific animal antisera against hpv [1--5]. the patient's serum revealed virus specific antibodies (immunofluorescence titer 1/80). papillomaviruses were isolated and after in vitro iodination 3 major proteins (mw 70.000, 56.000 and 43.000) were detected by sds polyacryalmide gel electrophoresis. dna was extracted from the wart ... | 1979 | 227966 |
| abnormal function of cd4+ helper/inducer t lymphocytes in a patient with widespread human papillomavirus type 3-related infection. | human papillomavirus-induced infections may be associated with cellular immunodeficiency. however, very little is known about the dysfunctional interactions among t lymphocytes, b lymphocytes, and antigen-presenting cells. a 30-year-old heterosexual man with a 10-year history of persistent multiple refractory flat wart lesions containing human papillomavirus type 3-related dna sequence was studied. the patient had a severe depletion of cd4+ t lymphocytes and a compensatory increase in the number ... | 1990 | 1979481 |
| natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity against various target cells in patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. | natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was studied in eight patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis induced by human papillomaviruses specific for epidermodysplasia verruciformis and in five patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis-induced exclusively by human papillomavirus type 3. nine patients with various cutaneous warts and 25 age- and sex-matched healthy persons were control subjects. natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity against both k-562 erythro ... | 1990 | 2155952 |
| uv-induced dna repair synthesis in patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. | autoradiographic technique was utilized to measure uv-induced dna repair synthesis in 8 patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis: 2 infected with human papillomavirus 3 (hpv 3), 4 with hpv 4, and 2 simultaneously with hpv 3 and hpv 4. two cell populations were compared, i.e., epidermal cells derived from light-exposed and covered skin, and peripheral lymphocytes. a control group consisted of 10 healthy subjects. dna repair was found to be normal both in the peripheral lymphocytes and in the ... | 1980 | 6244993 |
| t cell defect in patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis due to human papillomavirus type 3 and 5. | most of the patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis (ev) were anergic to sensitization to dinitrochlorobenzene (dncb) and were shown to have a decreased number of t lymphocytes and reduced lymphocyte pha responsiveness. preserved cell-mediated immunity (cmi) was found only in the abortive cases of ev infected with human papillomavirus type 3 (hpv-3). cmi was impaired to the same extent in patients with ev induced by hpv-3 and hpv-5, and in ev cases with combined infection with both viruses ... | 1981 | 6265297 |
| usefulness of cervical collection by the exact touch, the saccomanno single sampler, combined with automated primary screening. | automated-primary screening is frequently performed, but conventional smears have to be rescreened on coverslip edges because automated systems do not analyze cells near the coverslip edges because of focusing problems. this disadvantage can be overcome by obtaining conventional samples smeared in the center of the slide, e. g., by the exact touch (et), a single sampler introduced by g. saccomanno. papnet-assisted primary screening was performed on 263 samples collected by et. the smears were cl ... | 2000 | 11002364 |
| idiopathic cd4+ t lymphocytopenia associated with disseminated flat warts and alopecia areata. | idiopathic cd4+ t lymphocytopenia is a very rare condition characterized by persistent depletion of circulating cd4+ t lymphocytes, without evidence of hiv or htlv infection, or other identifiable causes of immunodeficiency. the syndrome can present with dermatological diseases, including viral, fungal and bacterial infections, as well as kaposi's sarcoma, epithelial cell malignancies, lymphoma and inflammatory dermatoses. we report the case of a 47-year-old woman with idiopathic cd4+ t lymphocy ... | 2002 | 12432998 |
| systematic review of economic evaluations of vaccination programs in mainland china: are they sufficient to inform decision making? | the purpose of the study was to systematically review economic evaluations of vaccine programs conducted in mainland china. we searched for economic evaluations of vaccination in china published prior to august 3, 2015 in eight english-language and three chinese-language databases. each article was appraised against the 19-item consensus on health economic criteria list (chec-list). we found 23 papers evaluating vaccines against hepatitis b (8 articles), streptococcus pneumoniae (5 articles), hu ... | 2015 | 26435189 |
