WU Polyomavirus Infection in Children, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: The human polyomaviruses JC and BK are known to cause persisting infections, which are usually asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients but may lead to severe disease in those who are immunosuppressed (1). Recently, 2 novel viruses of the family Polyomaviridae were detected in respiratory samples and named KI (2) and WU polyomavirus ...

Serological Diagnosis of Human Polyomavirus Infection [PDF]

, 2007
Measurement of antibody titres to the human polyomaviruses BK and JC has for many years had to rely on Hemagglutination inhibition. In recent years, viral serology based on virus-like particles (VLPs) in enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) has become widely used for a variety of viruses. We sought to establish a modern method for serological diagnosis of BK and

Prevalence of IgG antibodies against Malawi polyomavirus in patients with autoimmune diseases and lymphoproliferative disorders subjected to bone marrow transplantation

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionHuman polyomaviruses (HPyVs) cause persistent/latent infections in a large fraction of the population. HPyV infections may cause severe diseases in immunocompromised patients.

Discovery of a new human polyomavirus associated with trichodysplasia spinulosa in an immunocompromized patient.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
The Polyomaviridae constitute a family of small DNA viruses infecting a variety of hosts. In humans, polyomaviruses can cause infections of the central nervous system, urinary tract, skin, and possibly the respiratory tract.

Long‐term cost‐effectiveness of belatacept vs. tacrolimus in kidney transplantation: Trade‐off between metabolic benefit and immunological risk

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the long‐term cost‐effectiveness of belatacept vs. tacrolimus as maintenance immunosuppression in adult kidney transplant recipients, focusing on the trade‐off between reduced new‐onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), immunological risk and potential renal benefit.

Human polyomaviruses and cancer: an overview

Clinics, 2018
The name of the family Polyomaviridae, derives from the early observation that cells infected with murine polyomavirus induced multiple (poly) tumors (omas) in immunocompromised mice. Subsequent studies showed that many members of this family exhibit the

Purification of Disassembled Capsid Protein by Hydroxyapatite Chromatography Enhances Virus‐Like Particle Recovery

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Virus‐like particles (VLPs) are a promising modality with extensive applications in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine design. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are one such example where VLP vaccine applications have led to the successful reduction in HPV‐associated diseases, such as cervical cancer.

Taking the Scenic Route: Polyomaviruses Utilize Multiple Pathways to Reach the Same Destination

Viruses, 2020
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 ...

Cytomegalovirus and polyomavirus infection after renal transplantation [PDF]

Vnitřní lékařství, 2017
Viral infections are among the most common infectious complications affecting transplant recipients. Due to immunosuppressive therapy predominantly affecting cellular immunity and thus successfully reducing the incidence of acute rejection, there is a higher incidence of viral infections.

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.
