T cell deficiency precipitates antibody evasion and emergence of neurovirulent polyomavirus
7 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a life-threatening brain disease in immunocompromised patients. Inherited and acquired T cell deficiencies are associated with PML.
