Effect of viral early proteins, mutations and IL-17F on the transcriptional activity of the Merkel cell polyomavirus promoter in different cell lines
Abdulsalam, Ibrahim Afolabi (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-23)Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is common in the human population with a seropositivity of approximately 60%. The virus is chronically shed from healthy skin, but the genuine host cell remains unknown and a permissive cell culture system is lacking.
