Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a variety of tumors and nonmalignant conditions. Latent EBV genomes in cells, including tumor cells, are often CpG methylated, whereas virion DNA is not CpG methylated. We demonstrate that methyl CpG binding magnetic beads can be used to fractionate among sources of EBV DNA (DNA extracted from laboratory-purified virions vs DNA extracted from latently infected cell lines). We then applied the technique to plasma specimens and showed that this technique can distinguish EBV DNA from patients with EBV-associated tumors (nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma) and viral DNA from patients without EBV-associated tumors, including immunocompromised patients and patients with EBV(−) Hodgkin lymphoma.

Transformation growth factor-beta 2 gene (TGF-β2) is a gene which belongs to the cytokine gene group. The present study aimed to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) g. 640 T> C of Transformation growth factor-beta 2 gene (TGF-β2) and associate its genotypes with Salmonella pullorum Bacterial Infection Resistance in Tolaki Chickens. This study used blood samples collected from 70 chickens. Discussion was conducted on leucocyte concentration, leucocyte differentiation (heterophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and H/L ratio) and clearance test. Identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of Transformation growth factor-beta 2 gene (TGF-β2) was performed by PCR-RFLP method. Association of (SNP) g. 640 T> C of Transformation growth factor-beta 2 gene (TGF-β2) with leukocyte profiles and their differentiation and resistance to bacterial infections was carried out using analysis of variance with GLM (General Linear Model). SNP g.640 T> C of Transformation growth factor-beta 2 gene (TGF-β2) was polymorphic and was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Based on molecular and biological testing, Tolaki chickens in genotypes (TT, TC and CC) have normal leucocyte concentration and differenciation and resistant to Salmonella pullorum.
