Effect of viral early proteins, mutations and IL-17F on the transcriptional activity of the Merkel cell polyomavirus promoter in different cell lines
(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. The viral genome is in an episomal state in cells where MCPyV has been found. The virus is not harmful in healthy individuals, but it is involved in ...
