3 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) is one of the major causes of kidney graft dysfunction, and there are no BKPyV-specific antiviral therapies available. BKPyV neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) play key roles in protecting against BKPyV replication and represent a potential therapeutic or preventive strategy.
