Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a fatal demyelinating disease of the CNS of immunosuppressed individuals caused by the polyomavirus JC (JCV). In previous studies, we showed that JCV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (JCV-specific CTL) were associated with a favourable outcome in patients with PML.
