Low natalizumab trough concentrations are associated with reduced seroconversion of the John Cunningham virus in natalizumab-treated patients with multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Background Natalizumab is a highly effective drug for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). A disadvantage of this treatment is the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in patients who are seropositive for the John ...

"Pardon My Language": The Curious Case of a Bloody Sandwich and the John Cunningham Virus Reactivation in the Era of Immunomodulatory Drugs. [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare diagnosis associated with high mortality in different clinical settings. PML has been attributed to the reactivation of the John Cunningham (JC) virus (JCV).
