Cidofovir Inhibits Polyomavirus BK Replication in Human Renal Tubular Cells Downstream of Viral Early Gene Expression
28 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
The human polyomavirus BK (BKV) causes nephropathy and hemorrhagic cystitis in kidney and bone marrow transplant patients, respectively. The anti-viral cidofovir (CDV) has been used in small case series but the effects on BKV replication are unclear, since polyomaviruses do not encode viral DNA polymerases. We investigated the effects of CDV on BKV(Dunlop) replication in primary human renal proximal tubule...
