Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Analysis of Epstein-Barr Virus Load by Using a Real-Time PCR Assay
Hiroshi Kimura,Makoto Morita,Yumi Yabuta,Kiyotaka Kuzushima,Koji Kato,Seiji Kojima,Takaharu Matsuyama,Tsuneo Morishima +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the real-time PCR assay is useful for diagnosing symptomatic EBV infection and for monitoring the virus load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Viral DNA in Neonatal Herpes Simplex Virus Infections: Frequent and Prolonged Presence in Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid
Hiroshi Kimura,Masahide Futamura,Hideyuki Kito,Tseunesaburo Ando,Masahiko Goto,Kiyotaka Kuzushima,Motohiro Shibata,Tsuneo Morishima +7 more
TL;DR: PCR assay results suggest that HSV may be spread principally via viremia in neonates, especially in culture-negative cases of neonatal HSV infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient identification of HLA-A*2402–restricted cytomegalovirus-specific CD8+ T-cell epitopes by a computer algorithm and an enzyme-linked immunospot assay
TL;DR: A major cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific CTL epitope, QYDPVAALF, in the amino acid sequence of its lower matrix 65 kd phosphoprotein (pp65) presented by HLA-A*2402 molecules was identified and could be a useful reagent to study CTL responses to CMV among populations positive for Hla-A-2402.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Polymorphic Gene, BCL2A1, Encoding Two Novel Hematopoietic Lineage-specific Minor Histocompatibility Antigens
Yoshiki Akatsuka,Tetsuya Nishida,Eisei Kondo,Mikinori Miyazaki,H Taji,Hiroatsu Iida,Kunio Tsujimura,Makoto Yazaki,Tomoki Naoe,Yasuo Morishima,Yoshihisa Kodera,Kiyotaka Kuzushima,Toshitada Takahashi +12 more
TL;DR: The identification of two novel minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAgs), encoded by two separate single nucleotide polymorphisms on a single gene, BCL2A1, and restricted by human histOCompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*2402 and B*4403, respectively, is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and quantification of virus DNA in plasma of patients with Epstein-Barr virus-associated diseases.
Mitsuaki Yamamoto,Hiroshi Kimura,T Hironaka,Kanji Hirai,S Hasegawa,Kiyotaka Kuzushima,Motohiro Shibata,Tsuneo Morishima +7 more
TL;DR: Plasma from patients with IM contained the highest amount of virus DNA within 7 days following the onset of disease, and the concentration of EBV DNA in plasma seems to be higher in patients with the more severe clinical categories ofEBV diseases.
