The aim of our study was to search for the presence of HHV-8 DNA sequences in Biopsy specimens from hemangioma of the infancy.
The study included 9 biopsies from hemangioma. DNA of human beta-globin gene and HHV-8 were searched for by PCR using specific primers. Amplified products were revealed after an hybridization with an internal probe digoxigenin-labelled.
Human beta-globin gene could be detected in all samples illustrating the absence of PCR inhibitor. HHV-8 could never be detected in samples analyzed.
Our study does not imply any causative role of HHV-8 in the pathogenesis of hemangioma. This result must be confirmed by serologic studies.
我们研究的目的是在婴儿血管瘤活检标本中寻找人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)DNA序列。
该研究包括9例血管瘤活检标本。使用特异性引物通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测人类β-珠蛋白基因和HHV-8的DNA。扩增产物在与地高辛标记的内部探针杂交后显现出来。
在所有样本中均可检测到人类β-珠蛋白基因,表明不存在PCR抑制剂。在所分析的样本中从未检测到HHV-8。
我们的研究并不意味着HHV-8在血管瘤发病机制中具有任何致病作用。这一结果必须通过血清学研究加以证实。
