Journal ArticleDOI
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) T-antigen seroreactivity, MCV DNA in eyebrow hairs, and squamous cell carcinoma
Shalaka S. Hampras,Angelika Michel,Markus Schmitt,Markus Schmitt,Tim Waterboer,Lena M. Kranz,Tarik Gheit,Kate Fisher,Vernon K. Sondak,Jane L. Messina,Neil A. Fenske,Basil S. Cherpelis,Massimo Tommasino,Michael Pawlita,Dana E. Rollison +14 more
TL;DR: MCV infection is unlikely to play a direct role in SCC and seroreactivity to MCV T-antigen (T-Ag) oncoprotein, as well as MCV DNA detected in eyebrow hairs is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of human herpesviruses infections in nonmalignant tonsils: The SPLIT study.
Aboud Kourieh,Tarik Gheit,Massimo Tommasino,Véronique Dalstein,Gary M. Clifford,Jean Lacau St Guily,Christine Clavel,Silvia Franceschi,Jean-Damien Combes +8 more
TL;DR: To assess the prevalence of all known human herpesviruses in tonsils of an age‐stratified large sample of immunocompetent children and adults, a database of 120,000 tonsils is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oncogenic DNA viruses found in salivary gland tumors
Alyce A. Chen,Tarik Gheit,Marco Stellin,Valentina Lupato,Giacomo Spinato,Roberto Fuson,Anna Menegaldo,Sandrine McKay-Chopin,Elisa Dal Cin,Giancarlo Tirelli,Maria Cristina Da Mosto,Massimo Tommasino,Paolo Boscolo-Rizzo +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the presence of DNA viruses in SGTs by using a highly sensitive assay in a multi-center series of over 100 fresh frozen salivary gland samples to determine the prevalence of different DNA viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta-HPV types in patients with head and neck pathology and in healthy subjects.
Ivan Sabol,Jana Smahelova,Jan Klozar,Marinka Mravak-Stipetić,Tarik Gheit,Massimo Tommasino,Magdalena Grce,Ruth Tachezy +7 more
TL;DR: The study provides new data on the prevalence of beta-PVs in HNC and HPV5 was found significantly associated with HNC as already observed by other studies.
Book ChapterDOI
Detection of high-risk mucosal human papillomavirus DNA in human specimens by a novel and sensitive multiplex PCR method combined with DNA microarray.
Tarik Gheit,Massimo Tommasino +1 more
TL;DR: A novel one-shot method for the detection and typing of 19 mucosal HR HPV types, which combines the advantages of the multiplex PCR methods, i.e., high and the possibility to perform multiple amplifications in a single reaction, with an array primer extension (APEX) assay.
