Association of human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) with multiple sclerosis: increased IgM response to HHV-6 early antigen and detection of serum HHV-6 DNA.
Samantha S. Soldan,Rossana Berti,Nazi Salem,Paola Secchiero,Louis Flamand,Peter A. Calabresi,Meghan B. Brennan,H. Maloni,Henry F. McFarland,Hun Chi Lin,Madhumita Patnaik,Steven Jacobson +11 more
TL;DR: Increased IgM serum antibody responses to HHV-6 early antigen (p41/38) in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), compared with patients with chronic progressive MS, patients with other neurologic disease (OND), Patients with other autoimmune disease (OID), and normal controls are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that platelets release their alpha- and dense-granule contents in both nonsevere and severe forms of COVID-19, as they release various sets of molecules through the different stages of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6: questions and answers
Philip E. Pellett,Dharam V. Ablashi,Peter F. Ambros,Henri Agut,Mary T. Caserta,Vincent Descamps,Louis Flamand,Agnès Gautheret-Dejean,Caroline B. Hall,Rammurti T. Kamble,Uwe Kuehl,Dirk Lassner,Irmeli Lautenschlager,Kristin S. Loomis,Mario Luppi,Paolo Lusso,Peter G. Medveczky,Jose G. Montoya,Yasuko Mori,Masao Ogata,Joshua C. Pritchett,Sylvie Rogez,Edward Seto,Katherine N. Ward,Tetsushi Yoshikawa,Raymund R. Razonable +25 more
TL;DR: Little is known about whether individuals with ciHHV‐6 develop immune tolerance for viral proteins and whether they are put at clinical risk by the use of drugs that have been associated with HHV‐ 6 reactivation in vivo or in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of HHV-6A and HHV-6B as distinct viruses.
Dharam V. Ablashi,Henri Agut,Roberto Alvarez-Lafuente,Duncan A. Clark,Stephen Dewhurst,Dario DiLuca,Louis Flamand,Niza Frenkel,Robert C. Gallo,Ursula A. Gompels,Per Höllsberg,Steven Jacobson,Mario Luppi,Paolo Lusso,Mauro S. Malnati,Peter G. Medveczky,Yasuko Mori,Philip E. Pellett,Joshua C. Pritchett,Koichi Yamanishi,Tetsushi Yoshikawa +20 more
TL;DR: Several of the documented epidemiological, biological, and immunological distinctions between HHV-6A and HHv-6B, which support the ICTV classification are outlined, are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of functional microRNAs released through asymmetrical processing of HIV-1 TAR element
Dominique L. Ouellet,Isabelle Plante,Patricia Landry,Corinne Barat,Marie-Eve Janelle,Louis Flamand,Michel J. Tremblay,Patrick Provost +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that the TAR element of HIV-1 transcripts releases functionally competent miRNAs upon asymmetrical processing by Dicer, thereby providing novel insights into viral miRNA biogenesis.
