JCPyV miR-J1-5p in Urine of Natalizumab-Treated Multiple Sclerosis Patients [PDF]
The use of Natalizumab in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can cause the reactivation of the polyomavirus JC (JCPyV); this may result in the development of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and usually lethal disease.

Therapeutic potential of flavonols in the treatment of JCPyV [PDF]
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a demyelinating disease with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. There are limited treatment options for patients diagnosed with PML,

COS-7 and SVGp12 Cellular Models to Study JCPyV Replication and MicroRNA Expression after Infection with Archetypal and Rearranged-NCCR Viral Strains [PDF]
Since the non-coding control region (NCCR) and microRNA (miRNA) could represent two different and independent modalities of regulating JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) replication at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, the interplay between JC ...

Performance of Ultrasensitive Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing for JC Polyomavirus in Cerebrospinal Fluid Compared with Pathological Diagnosis of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease caused by the JC polyomavirus (JCPyV). Based on the clinical criteria, PML is diagnosed via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of JCPyV DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in

A study on the distribution of BK and JC polyomavirus in discarded donor kidneys [PDF]
IntroductionBK polyomavirus (BKPyV) and JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) are thought to establish persistent, low-grade infections in the kidney. However, their specific intrarenal reservoirs remain unclear.
