BKV Agnoprotein Interacts with α-Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Fusion Attachment Protein, and Negatively Influences Transport of VSVG-EGFP [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The human polyomavirus BK (BKV) infects humans worldwide and establishes a persistent infection in the kidney. The BK virus genome encodes three regulatory proteins, large and small tumor-antigen and the agnoprotein, as well as the capsid ...

BK Polyomavirus and the Transplanted Kidney [PDF]

Transplantation, 2016
BK polyomavirus is ubiquitous, with a seropositivity rate of over 75% in the adult population. Primary infection is thought to occur in the respiratory tract, but asymptomatic BK virus latency is established in the urothelium. In immunocompromised host, the virus can reactivate but rarely compromises kidney function except in renal grafts, where it ...

Should SVGp12 Be Used for JC Polyomavirus Studies? Comment on Prezioso et al. COS-7 and SVGp12 Cellular Models to Study JCPyV Replication and MicroRNA Expression after Infection with Archetypal and Rearranged-NCCR Viral Strains. Viruses 2022, 14, 2070

Viruses, 2022
A recent paper in Viruses investigates the impact of the JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) microRNA on the replication of different JCPyV strains. Unfortunately, one of the cell lines used, the human fetal glial cell line SVGp12, is productively infected by the ...

The potential therapeutic usefulness of targeting bk polyomavirus in prostate cancer [PDF]

, 2015
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a slow-growing, organ-confined tumor usually accompanied with a favorable overall prognosis. Current standard-of-care chemotherapy, and recently immunotherapies, for patients suffering from this disease may prolong overall ...

The Potential Role of BK and JC Polyomaviruses in Urothelial Cancer

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences
Background:    BK and JC polyomaviruses are perceived as the two most common human polyomaviruses (HPyVs). These two viruses inhabit the epithelial surfaces of the bladder and kidney as the primary site of replication and latency.

Polyomavirus infections and its clinical relevance in cancer patients: A Prospective Study

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
Summary: BK and JC polyomaviruses (PyV) have been demonstrated to be associated with the pathogenesis of various human cancers. We aimed to investigate the impact of BK and JC polyomavirus infections on several clinical parameters in different human ...

Comparison of two RT-qPCR methods targeting BK polyomavirus microRNAs in kidney transplant recipients

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundBK polyomavirus replication leads to progressive tubulointerstitial nephritis and ureteral stenosis, with a considerable risk of subsequent graft failure in kidney transplant recipients. Since specific antiviral therapies are lacking, new tools
