Comparison of quantitative real-time pcr and digital pcr to detect the polyomavirus in merkel cell carcinoma

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    MCPyV is part of the human skin microbiome, and it has been detected in up to 80% of MCC samples, as well as in other non-melanoma skin tumors. MCPyV-specific T_cell responses are detected both locally and systemically in patients with MCC, but the frequent expression of PD-L1 by cancer cells inactivates their effects by inducing T_cell exhaustion. In all five head MCC biopsies, four of them resulted MCPyV positive samples, while 2/3 upper limbs` samples were MCPyV-positive tumors. MCPyV was detected in 55% of partially UV-protected site tumors . . .
