JC and BK polyomavirus-like particles as targets of innate and adaptive humoral immunity [PDF]
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) were identified as the first of now more than 12 human polyomaviruses (HPyVs). The average JCPyV and BKPyV seroprevalence rates in adults are 70% and 90%, respectively. After asymptomatic infection both

Taking the Scenic Route: Polyomaviruses Utilize Multiple Pathways to Reach the Same Destination
Members of the Polyomaviridae family differ in their host range, pathogenesis, and disease severity. To date, some of the most studied polyomaviruses include human JC, BK, and Merkel cell polyomavirus and non-human subspecies murine and simian virus 40 ...

Inflammatory Monocytes Are a Reservoir for Merkel Cell Polyomavirus [PDF]
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a recently discovered virus that is implicated in the oncogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The route of dissemination and the reservoir(s) of MCPyV within the human body have not yet been identified. In this study we describe two patients with multiple MCPyV-positive inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions at

Diagnostic Methods for and Clinical Pictures of Polyomavirus Primary Infections in Children, Finland
We used comprehensive serodiagnostic methods (IgM, IgG, and IgG avidity) and PCR to study Merkel cell polyomavirus and trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus infections in children observed from infancy to adolescence. Comparing seroconversion

ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that typically arises in sun‐exposed skin of older or immunosuppressed patients. Combined or collision tumors involving MCC and other cutaneous malignancies are uncommon, and tumors exhibiting more than two distinct malignant phenotypes are exceptionally rare.

Extracutaneous Merkel cell carcinomas harbor polyomavirus DNA
Merkel cell carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor, with characteristic morphological and immunohistochemical features. Originally reported as primary carcinoma of skin, it has been described in numerous other sites such as lymph nodes, oral cavity, breast,
