The human polyomavirus BK: Potential role in cancer [PDF]
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2005 AbstractIn human cancer, a role has been suggested for the human polyomavirus BK, primarily associated with tubulointerstitial nephritis and ureteric stenosis in renal transplant recipients, and with hemorrhagic cystitis in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients.

Persistently high-level polyomavirus BK replication in the absence of renal function abnormalities in a kidney transplant recipient [PDF]
Microbiologia Medica, 2016 Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is an important cause of allograft dysfunction and graft loss after kidney transplantation. Even if histological evaluation is the gold standard for graft study and diagnosis of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, K ...

BK Polyomavirus-Associated Nephropathy and Hemorrhagic Cystitis in Transplant Recipients-What We Understand and What Remains Unclear. [PDF]
VirusesThe reactivation of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) during severe immunosuppression plays a crucial role in two significant syndromes observed in transplant recipients: BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) in kidney transplant patients and BK ...

Development of a droplet digital PCR assay for the detection of BK polyomavirus. [PDF]
Microbiol SpectrThe objective of this study was to establish a more sensitive and specific diagnostic method for detecting plasma BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) DNA load in patients after renal transplantation using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and to ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 BackgroundBK polyomavirus infection results in renal allograft dysfunction, and it is important to find methods of prediction and treatment. As a regulator of host immunity, changes in the gut microbiota are associated with a variety of infections ...

Cytomegalovirus and polyomavirus BK posttransplant [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2007 Virus replication and progression to disease in transplant patients is determined by patient-, graft- and virus-specific factors. This complex interaction is modulated by the net state of immunosuppression and its impact on virus-specific cellular immunity.

Role of BK human polyomavirus in cancer [PDF]
Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2018 Human polyomaviruses (HPyV), which are small DNA viruses classified into the polyomaviridae family, are widely distributed in human populations. Thirteen distinct HPyVs have been described to date. Some of these viruses have been found in human tumors, suggesting an etiological relationship with cancer.

Transplantation Reports, 2021 Introduction: : BK polyoma virus nephropathy represents one of the non-immunological causes of renal graft loss with a cumulative incidence between 5 and 10 percent, and a graft loss rate on BK virus nephropathy patients that ranges from 30 to 90 percent

The Agnogene of the Human Polyomavirus BK Is Expressed [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1998 ABSTRACT Primate polyomavirus genomes all contain an open reading frame at the 5′ end of the late coding region called the agnogene. A simian virus 40 agnoprotein with unknown functions has previously been demonstrated. We now show that a BK virus agnoprotein appears in the perinuclear area and cytoplasm late in the infectious cycle.
