Abstract excerpt
Peripheral blood leukocytes from immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals were analyzed for human polyomarivus BK and JC DNA presence. A nested polymerase chain reaction which amplify the transcriptional control region of the genome of both viruses was employed. The immunocompromised patients included bone marrow transplantation recipients and AIDS patients. BKV sequences were detectable in 52.8-62.5% of...
