Virology, 2015 BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous nonenveloped human virus that can cause severe disease in immunocompromised populations. After internalization into renal proximal tubule epithelial cells, BKPyV traffics through the ER and enters the cytosol. However, it is unclear how the virus enters the nucleus.

BK Polyomavirus Serotype-Specific Antibody Responses in Blood Donors and Kidney Transplant Recipients with and without New-Onset BK Polyomavirus-DNAemia : A Swiss Transplant Cohort Study [PDF]
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) causes premature renal failure in 10% to 30% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Current guidelines recommend screening for new-onset BKPyV-DNAemia/nephropathy and reducing immunosuppression to regain BKPyV-specific immune ...
