BK Virus Encoded MicroRNAs Are Present in Blood of Renal Transplant Recipients With BK Viral Nephropathy
14 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
BK viral infection is an important cause of renal transplant dysfunction and failure. Current strategies utilize surveillance for infection with DNA polymerase chain reaction assays and modulation of immunosuppression. Many viruses including polyomaviruses encode microRNAs (miRNAs). We have detected BK virus (BKV) encoded miRNAs in the blood of infected renal transplant recipients, and see a strong correlation...
