Risk factors for BK virus infection in DCD donor kidney transplant recipients

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundBK virus infection after kidney transplantation can negatively impact the prognosis of patients. However, current risk factor analyses primarily focus on BK virus nephropathy, while BK viruria and BK viruria progressing to BK viremia receive ...

Polyomavirus BK with rearranged noncoding control region emerge in vivo in renal transplant patients and increase viral replication and cytopathology [PDF]

, 2008
Immunosuppression is required for BK viremia and polyomavirus BK-associated nephropathy (PVAN) in kidney transplants (KTs), but the role of viral determinants is unclear.

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 ...

Transformation of Human Embryonic Fibroblasts by BK Virus, BK Virus DNA and a Subgenomic BK Virus DNA Fragment

Journal of General Virology, 1982
Human embryonic fibroblasts (HEF) have been transformed by BK virus (BKV) DNA and by u.v.-inactivated or live BKV alone or in association with methyl-cholanthrene (MTC). The transformed cells produced BKV large T and small t antigens as well as the cellular 53 kdal protein, detected by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation.
