Abstract excerpt
The kidneys of six progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) patients were examined by PCR amplification for the presence of JC virus. Amplification of three different areas of the viral genome from multiple samples of each kidney revealed three that were positive for the virus. The use of...
