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 reg...
