New sequence polymorphisms in the outer loops of the JC polyomavirus major capsid protein (VP1) possibly associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

Abstract excerpt
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in patients with decreased immune competence. To elucidate genetic changes in JCPyV associated with the pathogenesis of PML, multiple complete JCPyV DNA clones originating from the brains of three PML cases were established and sequenced. Although unique rearranged control regions occurred in all clones, a low level of nucleotide...
