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 ...

Characterizing determinants of BK Polyomavirus-specific immune response [PDF]

, 2016
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is one of now 13 human polyomavirus (HPyV) species detected in humans. BKPyV is only known to infect humans and seroprevalence rates of more than 90% have been reported in adult populations around the world.

Development of a real-time quantitative PCR assay for detection of a stable genomic region of BK virus

Virology Journal, 2010
Background BK virus infections can have clinically significant consequences in immunocompromised individuals. Detection and monitoring of active BK virus infections in certain situations is recommended and therefore PCR assays for detection of BK virus ...

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.

JC and BK polyomavirus-like particles as targets of innate and adaptive humoral immunity [PDF]

, 2015
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) were identified as the first of now more than 12 human polyomaviruses (HPyVs). The average JCPyV and BKPyV seroprevalence rates in adults are 70% and 90%, respectively. After asymptomatic infection both

Polyomavirus BK-specific cellular immune response in Kidney transplant recipients [PDF]

, 2007
Polyomavirus BK is an emerging pathogen in KT recipients. New potent immunosuppressive drugs promote reactivation and replication of BKV and progression towards PVAN.
