Abstract excerpt
A 610-bp region of the JC virus (JCV) genome sequenced from brains of 11 progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) patients contains 20 sites of point mutations that allow reliable classification of JCV isolates into two types. These type-determining sites were located in the region extending from position 2131 in the VP1 gene, through the intergenic region, to position 2740 in the T antigen gene. At these...
