Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA was detected in 7 (1.3%) of 526 respiratory tract samples from patients in Australia with upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms. Partial T antigen and major capsid protein sequences of MCPyV identified in respiratory secretions showed high homology (99%-100%) to those found in Merkel cell carcinoma.
在澳大利亚有上呼吸道或下呼吸道症状患者的526份呼吸道样本中,7份(1.3%)检测到默克尔细胞多瘤病毒(MCPyV)DNA。在呼吸道分泌物中鉴定出的MCPyV的部分T抗原和主要衣壳蛋白序列与在默克尔细胞癌中发现的序列具有高度同源性(99%-100%)。
