BK virus large T and VP-1 expression in infected human renal allografts [PDF]
Objective. We investigated the expression of early and late phase BK virus (BKV) proteins and their interactions with host cell proteins in renal allografts, with ongoing polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVAN), and correlated this with the nuclear ...

Adverse reactions of biological therapies in patients with psoriasis [PDF]
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder characterized by well demarcated, erythematous plaques covered by thick, silvery-white scales, most often located on the knees, elbows, sacral area and scalp.

ABSTRACT Background Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a frequent and potentially severe complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children. It significantly affects the quality of life and prolongs hospitalization. Despite its frequency, no standardized management guidelines exist.

Surveillance of polyomavirus BK in relation to immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation
Introduction. Reactivation of polyomavirus BK in kidney transplant recipients has been associated to the development of nephropathy (polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, PVAN), possibly leading to the loss of the transplanted organ.

Parvovirus Infection-Related Anemia after Kidney Transplantation
Anemia postkidney transplantation is an important issue which has been correlated with increased hospitalizations and higher mortality. Infections, including those due to parvovirus B19, CMV, and BK virus (polyomavirus), have also been associated with an

Complete Genome Sequences of BK Polyomavirus Strains from Two Patients with Urinary Tract Infection, Sequenced Using the Ion Torrent Platform. [PDF]
BK polyomavirus is an important pathogen in kidney transplant patients. We report here two complete genome sequences, those of isolates CAMB-1035 and CAMB-1055, identified in two urine samples tested for urinary tract infection at a hospital in eastern ...

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is a common asymptomatic viral infection in the general population. Severe complications are seen in immunocompromised individuals, such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) in renal transplant recipients. Information on BKPyV microRNA expressions is scarce, although polyomavirus-encoded microRNAs have been ...

Salivary and Serum Cytokine Concentrations in Kidney Transplantation: A Prospective Study
ABSTRACT Background Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) experience immune modulation, which may lead to graft rejection and other adverse outcomes. Although serum cytokines are well‐established systemic immune markers, the role of salivary biomarkers has never been reported in the literature.

Inhibition of Simian Virus 40 replication by targeting the molecular chaperone function and ATPase activity of T antigen [PDF]
Polyomaviruses such as BK virus and JC virus have been linked to several diseases, but treatments that thwart their propagation are limited in part because of slow growth and cumbersome culturing conditions.
