Exploring JC Polyomavirus Sequences and Human Gene Expression in Brain Tissue of Patients With Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
14 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare neurological condition associated with reactivation of dormant JC polyomavirus (JCPyV). In this study, we characterized gene expression and JCPyV rearrangements in PML brain tissue. Infection of white matter astrocytes and oligodendrocytes as well as occasional brain cortex neurons was shown. PML brain harbored exclusively rearranged JCPyV variants. Viral...
