  • Title: Isolation of Inoue-Melnick virus from human meningioma-derived cell cultures and detection of antibody in patients with meningioma.
    Author: Inoue YK, Nishibe Y, Hollinshead AC, Takeuchi J, Uchida Y, Handa H.
    Journal: J Med Virol; 1987 Mar; 21(3):201-5. PubMed ID: 3559526.
    Abstract:
    Inoue-Melnick virus (IMV) was isolated from six of seven human meningioma-derived cell cultures, while the virus was not isolated from six other brain tumor cell cultures. Sera of 145 consecutive neurosurgical inpatients were tested for IMV-neutralizing antibody. Of 26 patients with meningioma, 22 were positive for IMV antibody (84.6%). Of the remaining 119 patients, 16 were positive.
