JC Polyomavirus Infections in Transplant Patients [PDF]
The polyomavirus JC virus (JCV) is a small nonenveloped DNA virus that asymptomatically infects about 80% of healthy adults and establishes latency in the kidney tissue. In case of immunodeficient hosts, JCV can lytically infect the oligodendrocytes, causing a fatal demyelinating disease, known as Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML ...

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

Polyomavirus nephropathy: Risk analysis in paired renal Transplant recipients
Polyomavirus allograft nephropathy (PVAN) has a negative impact on allograft function and survival. Analysis of paired kidneys from same donor can help to understand the role of recipient risk factors for PVAN. This analysis can also define donor related

Mining for viral fragments in methylation enriched sequencing data [PDF]
Most next generation sequencing experiments generate more data than is required for the experimental set up. For example, methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) affinity purification based sequencing is often used for DNA-methylation profiling, but up to 30% of

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection and Detection [PDF]
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection can lead to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a highly aggressive form of skin cancer. Mechanistic studies to fully investigate MCPyV molecular biology and oncogenic mechanisms have been hampered by a lack of adequate cell culture models.

Unraveling the Role of Allo-Antibodies and Transplant Injury. [PDF]
Alloimmunity driving rejection in the context of solid organ transplantation can be grossly divided into mechanisms predominantly driven by either T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), though the co-existence of both ...
