Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treated with interleukin-7

Clinical Infection in Practice, 2020
Background: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare devastating brain infection caused by the JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) in patients with impaired cellular immune responses. In the absence of effective anti-viral therapy, it is unclear if

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

, 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.

Immunology of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PDF]

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2015
The high prevalence of asymptomatic JC polyomavirus (JCV) infection in the general population indicates coexistence with the human host and efficient immune control in healthy individuals. For unknown reasons, kidney-resident archetypic JCV strains can turn into neurotropic JCV strains which in hereditary or acquired states of immunodeficiency cause ...

Frequent Infection of Cerebellar Granule Cell Neurons by Polyomavirus JC in Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy [PDF]

, 2009
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) occurs most often in immunosuppressed individuals. The lesions of PML result from astrocyte and oligodendrocyte infection by the polyomavirus JC (JCV); JCV has also been shown to infect and destroy ...
