SV40 is an abbreviation for simian vacuolating virus 40 or simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that sometimes causes tumors in animals, but most often persists as a latent infection.
9 Ιουλ 2007 · Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a monkey virus that was administered to human populations by contaminated vaccines which were produced in SV40 naturally infected monkey cells. Recent molecular biology and epidemiological studies suggest that SV40 may be contagiously transmitted in humans by horizontal infection, independently from the earlier ...
What is the behavior of SV40 in human cells? Does it cause or contribute to acute or chronic disease? Other comprehensive reviews have also addressed these issues, with a variety of emphases (8, 10, 52, 57, 107).
1 Μαρ 2022 · The extensive poliovirus vaccination programs of the late 1950s and early 1960s lead to the accidental infection of millions of individuals with an unknown virus (SV40) possessing cancer-causing potential. This mistake sparked a massive research enterprise to...
Natural exposure to SV40 in humans is considered a rare event, and antibodies to SV40 can be demonstrated only in people who have been in contact with monkeys (Shah, 1966; Engels et al., 2004a) or who had received, in the past, SV40-contaminated poliovirus vaccine.
31 Ιουλ 2004 · However, two Merck researchers, Ben Sweet and Maurice Hilleman, soon identified the rhesus virus later named SV40—the carcinogenic agent that had eluded Eddy. In 1963, US authorities decided to switch to African green monkeys, which are not natural hosts of SV40, to produce polio vaccine.
20 Ιαν 1999 · Natural infections in monkeys by SV40 are usually benign but may become pathogenic in immunocompromised animals, and multiple tissues can be infected. SV40 can replicate in certain types of simian and human cells.
