Abstract excerpt
We retrospectively examined 29 renal allograft biopsy specimens from 42 kidney transplant recipients by means of molecular biologic techniques (nested polymerase chain reaction), immunohistochemical analysis (anti-SV40 antibody), and histologic examination to evaluate the presence of polyomaviruses (PVs), viral genotypes, genomic mutations, and their pathologic significance. PV genomes were found in six cases...
