Abstract excerpt

JC virus (JCV) causes the central demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). JCV strains excreted in the urine are distinguishable from those in PML tissue by the configuration of their regulatory region to the right of ori: the archetypal regulatory region, 267 nucle...
