1 Apr 1996

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus which infects a large percentage of the human population. It is a potent transforming agent and is tumorigenic in rodents. BKV DNA has also been found in human brain, pancreatic islet, and urinary tract tumors, implicating this virus in neoplastic processes.
