JC polyoma virus and kidney disease [PDF]

Kidney International, 2014
To the Editor: In a recent article, Divers et al.1 describe the interaction between apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) genotypes and JC viruria, and their relationship with nondiabetic nephropathy in African Americans. The authors found that in African Americans with two APOL1 risk alleles, the prevalence of kidney disease was lower for those with JC viruria ...

Brain tumors of owl monkeys inoculated with JC virus contain the JC virus genome [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1984
The DNA from astrocytomas that developed in adult owl monkeys 16 to 36 months after intracranial inoculation with JC virus (JCV) was examined for the presence of the JCV genome by hybridization to cloned JCV DNA. The JCV genome was found to be integrated into the cellular DNA in all tumors examined.

JC Virus: An oncogenic virus in animals and humans? [PDF]

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2009
JC virus (JCV) is a human polyomavirus of the Polyomaviridae family, which also includes BK virus and simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40). JC virus was first isolated in 1971 from the brain of a patient with Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). Like other polyomaviruses, JCV has a restricted host range. The virus infects the majority of the
