Abstract excerpt
The human polyomavirus BK (BKV) has a proven oncogenic potential, but its contribution to tumorigenesis under natural conditions remains undetermined. As for other primate polyomaviruses, the approximately 5.2 kbp double-stranded circular genome of BKV has three functional regions: the coding regions for the two early (T, t antigens) and four late (agno, capsid proteins; VP1-3) genes separated by a noncoding...
