Abstract excerpt
DNA sequences for the VP1 gene which codes for the major capsid protein of BK virus (BKV) and may be responsible for antigenic variability were determined for seven BKV isolates. The observed sequence differences and those previously reported correlate with the typing of isolates into four groups...
