Human polyomaviruses and cancer: an overview

Clinics, 2018
The name of the family Polyomaviridae, derives from the early observation that cells infected with murine polyomavirus induced multiple (poly) tumors (omas) in immunocompromised mice. Subsequent studies showed that many members of this family exhibit the

Human Polyomaviruses (HPyV) in Wastewater and Environmental Samples from the Lisbon Metropolitan Area: Detection and Genetic Characterization of Viral Structural Protein-Coding Sequences

Pathogens, 2021
Due to the lack of reliable epidemiological information regarding the geographic distribution and genetic diversity of human polyomaviruses (HPyV) in Portugal, we addressed these issues in this initial study by focusing on the Lisbon Metropolitan area ...

Human genes with relative synonymous codon usage analogous to that of polyomaviruses are involved in the mechanism of polyomavirus nephropathy

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) can cause serious and deleterious infections in human. Yet, the molecular mechanism underlying these infections, particularly in polyomavirus nephropathy (PVAN), is not well-defined. In the present study, we aimed to identify

Serological Diagnosis of Human Polyomavirus Infection [PDF]

, 2007
Measurement of antibody titres to the human polyomaviruses BK and JC has for many years had to rely on Hemagglutination inhibition. In recent years, viral serology based on virus-like particles (VLPs) in enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) has become widely used for a variety of viruses. We sought to establish a modern method for serological diagnosis of BK and

Molecular characterization of WU polyomavirus strain isolated from patients with breast cancer [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Cancer and Biomedical Research
Background: Polyomaviruses (PyV) are small, circular, non-enveloped viruses with a diameter of about 40–50 nm, and have a double-stranded DNA molecule descended from the Polyomaviridae family.

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 ...

Complete Genome Sequence of a Tenth Human Polyomavirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2012
ABSTRACT Nine polyomavirus (PyV) species are known to productively infect humans. The circular DNA genomes of PyVs are readily detectable using rolling circle amplification (RCA). RCA-based analysis of condyloma specimens from a patient with w arts, h ypogammaglobulinemia,

Whole Genome Sequencing of KI Polyomavirus Strain from Patient with Breast Cancer in Basrah City [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research
Background: Polyomaviruses are small, circular, non-enveloped viruses with a diameter of about 40–50 nm, and have a double-stranded DNA molecule descended from the Polyomaviridae. 32 PyV strains are described, more than 10 of which are reported to infect

Identification of the neutralizing epitopes of Merkel cell polyomavirus major capsid protein within the BC and EF surface loops. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the first polyomavirus clearly associated with a human cancer, i.e. the Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Polyomaviruses are small naked DNA viruses that induce a robust polyclonal antibody response against the major capsid

Human Polyomavirus Infection in Renal Allograft Recipients [PDF]

BMJ, 1973
Cytological and virological studies on 74 patients with functioning renal allografts were undertaken to detect polyomavirus infection of the renal tract. Ten patients (13·5%) were excreting polyomavirus. Virus particles were seen in the electron microscope in urine samples from eight patients. B.K.
