open access: yesRevista de Saúde Pública, 1977
A total of 173 sera from isolated Brazilian Indian populations, 39 from the Diauarun area, and 68 from the Alto Xingú area, respectively in the North and the South of the Xingú National Park and 66 Kren-Akorore Indians, were examined for hemagglutination

Oligosaccharides as Receptors for JC Virus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2002
ABSTRACT JC virus (JCV) belongs to the polyomavirus family of double-stranded DNA viruses and in humans causes a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Its hemagglutination activity and entry into host cells have been reported to depend on an N-linked glycoprotein containing sialic ...

Evaluation of patients treated with natalizumab for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) was reported to have developed in three patients treated with natalizumab. We conducted an evaluation to determine whether PML had developed in any other treated patients.

Jc Virus-Induced Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Virology, 2010
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML) is a fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), caused by the lytic infection of oligodendrocytes by a human polyomavirus, JC virus (JCV). PML is rare disease but mostly develops in patients with underlying immunosuppressive conditions, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphoproliferative ...

Case report of a patient with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy under treatment with dimethyl fumarate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a severe demyelinating disease caused by the polyoma JC virus in patients with reduced immunocompetence.

JC virus-DNA detection is associated with CD8 fffector accumulation in peripheral blood of patients with multiple sclerosis under natalizumab treatment, independently from JC virus serostatus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although natalizumab (anti-α4 integrin) represents an effective therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), it is associated with an increased risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), caused by the polyomavirus ...

Natalizumab affects T-cell phenotype in multiple sclerosis: implications for JCV reactivation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The anti-CD49d monoclonal antibody natalizumab is currently an effective therapy against the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Natalizumab therapeutic efficacy is limited by the reactivation of the John Cunningham polyomavirus (JCV ...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: new concepts

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2013
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease of the CNS caused by reactivation of JC virus (JCV) in a setting of cellular immunosuppression.

Immunological biomarkers identifying natalizumab-treated multiple sclerosis patients at risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Natalizumab-induced progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) appears to be unleashed by complex interactions between viral and immunological host factors leading the latent form of JC virus to become pathogenic.

T' Proteins Influence JC Virus Biology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurovirology, 2003
The JC virus early mRNA is alternatively spliced to yield five transcripts that encode large T antigen, small t antigen, T'(135), T'(136), and T'(165). The splicing process is regulated differentially in transformed versus lytically infected cells and temporally during the course of a productive infection. The authors have identified a potential exonic
