Abstract excerpt
JC virus (JCV), a ubiquitous human polyomavirus, can cause fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in immune compromised patients. The viral genome is composed of two conserved coding regions separated by a highly variable non-coding control region (NCCR). We analyzed the NCCR sequence from 10 PML JCV strains and found new mutations. Remarkably, the NCCR f section was mutated in most cases. We...
