BK polyomavirus infection promotes growth and aggressiveness in bladder cancer

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2020
Background Recent studies have confirmed the integration of the BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) gene into the cellular genome of urothelial carcinomas in transplant recipients, further confirming the correlation between BKPyV and urothelial carcinomas after ...

Production of recombinant VP1-derived virus-like particles from novel human polyomaviruses in yeast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Eleven new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been identified in the last decade. Serological studies show that these novel HPyVs sub-clinically infect humans at an early age.

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is a common asymptomatic viral infection in the general population. Severe complications are seen in immunocompromised individuals, such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) in renal transplant ...

A multivalent polyomavirus vaccine elicits durable neutralizing antibody responses in macaques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In 2019, there were about 100,000 kidney transplants globally, with more than a quarter of them per-formed in the United States. Unfortunately, some engrafted organs are lost to polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) caused by BK and JC viruses ...

Characteristics of polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) infection in primary human urothelial cells

open access: yesVirology, 2013
High-level polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) replication in urothelial cells is a hallmark of polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (PyVHC), a painful condition affecting bone marrow transplant recipients. In kidney transplant recipients, replication in tubular epithelial cells is associated with overt disease whereas high-level urothelial replication is ...

IgG Seroreactivites to Viral Capsid Protein VP1 of JC and BK Polyomaviruses in Children at Early Ages with Special Reference to Parental Cofactors

open access: yesChildren, 2023
BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV) polyomaviruses are widespread in humans. Transmission at an early age and the role of parents in spreading these viruses through the family are incompletely understood.

Detection of Malawi polyomavirus sequences in secondary lymphoid tissues from Italian healthy children: a transient site of infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: The novel Malawi polyomavirus (MWPyV) was initially detected in stool specimens from healthy children and children with gastrointestinal symptoms, mostly diarrhea, indicating that MWPyV might play a role in human gastroenteric diseases ...
