Download or read book The Epstein Barr Virus written by M. A. Epstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epstein-Barr virus was discovered 15 years ago. Since that time an immense body of information has been accumu lated on this agent which has come to assume great signifi cance in many different fields of biological science. Thus, the virus has very special relevance in human medicine and oncology, in tumor virology, in immunology, and in mole cular virology, since it is the cause of infectious mononu cleosis and also the first human cancer virus, etiologically related to endemic Burkitt's lymphoma and probably to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In addition, continuous human lymphoid cell lines initiated and maintained by the transform ing function of the virus genome provide a laboratory tool with wide and ever-growing applications. Innumerable papers on the Epstein-Barr virus have ap peared over recent years and reports of work with this agent now constitute a veritable flood. The present book provides the first and only comprehensive, authoritative over-view of all aspects of the virus by authors who have been the original and major contributors in their particular disciplines. A complete and up-to-date survey of this unique and important agent is thus provided which should be of great interest to experts, teachers, and students engaged in cancer research, virology, immunology, molecular biology, epide miology, and cell culture. Where topics have been dealt with from more than one of these viewpoints, some inevitable overlap and duplication has resulted; although this has been kept to a minimum, it has been retained in some places because of positive usefulness.

Book excerpt: From the Best Selling author Dr. Kasia Kines. Take your life back! For anyone suffering from Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, Infectious Mononucleosis, or other mystery illnesses, this is a must read!Do you feel lost and hopeless, living a life of illness with no answers? Do you feel unsupported by your medical team, left to suffer alone with no guidance? Are you searching for solutions to get your health and life back on track?Finally, a book that speaks to both the medical community and people inflicted by both mono and chronic conditions caused by EBV!The expanse of this pivotal book is far reaching - many people may not yet know they have been infected with EBV (commonly known as the "kissing disease"), but yet they struggle every day with chronic symptoms such as severe brain fog, debilitating fatigue, headaches, fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, and abdominal discomfort and can't seem to find a successful treatment solution.Eventually, some go on to develop autoimmune disorders, e.g. Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and even cancer and are told that their immune system is simply confused and is now attacking itself, left with no solutions or hope for recovery.Alarmingly, chronic EBV infection is almost completely missed in medical practice, and as a result of never being tested, misinterpreting the test results, not being diagnosed, or being mis-diagnosed by their doctors, millions of people suffer debilitating conditions for many years with no answers.But this suffering can be avoided. And with this book, answers can be found.Author Dr. Kasia Kines is considered by her colleagues to be "one of the most brilliant, and importantly, clinically experienced functional nutritionists in the world." In Epstein-Barr Virus Solution, Dr. Kines provides a groundbreaking examination of EBV and not only how it causes chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer but also how recovery is possible. This book was written in hopes that it will globally change the way EBV is understood, diagnosed, and treated.The deep journey into the existing research sheds light on the EBV virus for both the seasoned medical community and the layperson. Along with the validated research, Epstein-Barr Virus Solution presents practical, time-tested, and evidence-based clinical solutions for the testing and medical nutrition therapy for EBV, testing and lab interpretation, unique supplementation protocols, recovery strategies for stress, insomnia, fatigue, and toxicity, pantry and kitchen rehab for EBV, and delicious anti-EBV recipes. Through Dr. Kines' compassionate guidance, readers will feel confident to discuss their concerns with their doctor, to ask for testing, and to take their lives back from EBV. Epstein-Barr Virus Solution urges medical providers to hear their clients' concerns and provides the medical community with the research and insights needed to avoid misdiagnosis and common problems with testing for EBV.Epstein-Barr Virus Solution was made possible because of Dr. Kines' long-standing expertise as a functional clinical nutritionist who has dedicated her practice to working with clients inflicted by EBV. Dr. Kines tells readers in easy-to-understand language that recovery and hope for better health are possible through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes. Readers are given a toolkit full of practical advice and guidance, including exclusive materials from Dr. Kines' life-changing 30-Day Detox Program that she has taught successfully for over 10 years.The research is out there, and Dr. Kasia Kines has found it, synthesized it, and utilized it to implement successful treatment protocols in her own clinic. Clients who had suffered years with chronic EBV infection symptoms are now recovering and living their lives.This book will provide those infected with EBV everything they need to finally take control of their health and take their life and happiness back.

Download or read book Epstein Barr Virus EBV written by Jan Styczynski and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also known as Human Herpes Virus 4, has been identified and described as the etiological agent of infectious mononucleosis. It is the first human virus found to be implicated in oncogenesis. EBV is associated with a number of biologically diverse cancers, mainly lymphoproliferations of B-cell origin. With the development of basic research and clinical medicine, new ideas related to the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of EBV-associated diseases have arisen recently. A significant progress in the number of hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantations performed world-wide, involving high-risk patients, has contributed to an increase in the development of EBV-associated malignant post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders. In the stem cell transplant setting, a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder has in most cases the nature of a secondary cancer. Apart from post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders, other types of lymphoproliferative disorders are recognised and presented in this book.

Download or read book Epstein Barr Virus written by Erle S. Robertson and published by Horizon Scientific Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gamma herpes virus that is best known for being the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis in man. A fascinating feature of this virus is its ability to persist in the host, and it is estimated that more than 95% of adults are carriers of the virus. Importantly, EBV can transform latently infected primary cells from healthy individuals into cancerous ones, thereby causing important human cancers such as B-cell neoplasms (e.g. Burkitt's lymphoma and Post-transplant lymphomas), certain forms of T-cell lymphoma, and some epithelial tumors (e.g. gastric carcinomas). Understanding viral latency, what triggers viral reactivation and the mechanism of transformation of normal host cells into malignant cells are critical for the development of strategies for the prevention and control of this intriguing virus and related cancers. In this book, expert EBV virologists comprehensively review this important subject from a genetic, biochemical, immunological, and cell biological perspective. Topics include: latent infections, EBV leader protein, EBNA-1 in viral DNA replication and persistence, EBNA-2 in transcription activation of viral and cellular genes, the nuclear antigen family 3 in regulation of cellular processes, molecular profiles of EBV latently infected cells, latent membrane protein 1 oncoprotein, regulation of latency by LMP2A, role of noncoding RNAs in EBV-induced cell growth and transformation, and the regulation of EBV latency by viral lytic proteins. This book is essential reading for all EBV virologists, as well as clinical and basic scientists working on oncogenic viruses.

Download or read book Epstein Barr Virus written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a fascinating microorganism, as a “double-facetted” viral agent. After primary infection, it can persist throughout a person’s lifetime in a latent form, from which it can reactivate following specific stimuli (i.e., immunodepression). Unlike other herpesviruses, EBV reactivates a countless number of times with such a high replication rate that it is unable to be controlled by conventional anti-herpesvirus drugs. Moreover, for various reasons, no vaccine is currently available in the market. This book presents a comprehensive overview of EBV, including information on its potential for oncogenic activity, its various isolates, and possible vaccine candidates.

Book excerpt: This book covers lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies. Acquired immunodeficiencies are caused by infections with the human immunodeficiency virus or arise following immunosuppressive therapy administered after organ transplantation or to treat connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It was recently discovered that various diseases or therapeutic modalities that induce a state of immunosuppression may cause virally driven lymphoproliferations. This book summarizes for the first time this group of immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferations.
