11 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cell-type-specific transcription of the JC virus (JCV) promoter in glial cells initiates a series of events leading to viral replication in the brain and the development of the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in patients with neurologic complications due to infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
