John Cunningham virus T-antigen expression in anal carcinoma† [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUND:Anal carcinoma is thought to be driven by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection through interrupting function of cell regulatory proteins such as p53 and pRb. John Cunningham virus (JCV) expresses a T‐antigen that causes malignant transformation through development of aneuploidy and interaction with some of the same regulatory ...

A Case of John Cunningham Virus Induced Rhombencephalitis after Rituximab Therapy for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. [PDF]
Background. John Cunningham virus (JCV) is known to cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in immuno-compromised patients due to lytic infection of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Rarely, it may also present as granule cell neuronopathy (GCN), leading to degeneration of cerebellar granule cell neurons.

Changes in John Cunningham Virus Index in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated with Different Disease-Modifying Therapies. [PDF]
Background: Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an opportunistic infection caused by John Cunningham virus (JCV) reactivation, potentially associated with natalizumab (NTZ) treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The anti-JCV antibodies titre (JCV index) increases during NTZ treatment; however, the effects of other disease-modifying ...

Favorable Response to Mirtazapine in John Cunningham Virus-related Gray Matter Lesion in a Patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus. [PDF]
Mirtazapine has recently emerged as a promising agent for the treatment of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). While there is no Class I evidence for its use, numerous case reports have illustrated mirtazapine's efficacy. True to its name, PML is known to occur mostly in the white matter of the brain as its causative agent, John ...
