T Cell Deficiency Precipitates Antibody Evasion and Emergence of Neurovirulent Polyomavirus

2022-02-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) causes Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), a life-threatening brain disease in T cell immunosuppressed patients. PML patients often carry mutations in the JCPyV VP1 capsid protein. These mutations confer resistance to neutralizing VP1 antibodies (Ab). We found that T cell insufficiency during persistent infection, in the setting of monospecific VP1 Ab, was re...
