Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009•ncbi.nlm.nih.govWe investigated whether Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) patients in France carry Merkel cell
polyomavirus (MCPyV) and then identified strain variations. All frozen MCC specimens and
45% of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens, but none of the non-MCC
neuroendocrine carcinomas specimens, had MCPyV. Strains from France and the United
States were similar.

Abstract
We investigated whether Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) patients in France carry Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and then identified strain variations. All frozen MCC specimens and 45% of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens, but none of the non-MCC neuroendocrine carcinomas specimens, had MCPyV. Strains from France and the United States were similar.
