Sequencing and Analysis of JC Virus DNA From Natalizumab-Treated PML Patients
15 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in natalizumab-treated MS patients is linked to JC virus (JCV) infection. JCV sequence variation and rearrangements influence viral pathogenicity and tropism. To better understand PML development, we analyzed viral DNA sequences in blood, CSF and/or urine of natalizumab-treated PML patients. METHODS: Using biofluid samples from 17 natalizumab-treated...
