The humoral response to BK polyomavirus in kidney transplant recipients is dominated by IgM antibodies that use a distinct repertoire compared to IgG against the same antigen

2021-02-09

Abstract excerpt

1. The BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) persists asymptomatically in the kidney and active replication is only seen in immunosuppressed individuals, such as kidney transplant (KTx) recipients, in whom BKPyV reactivation can cause significant morbidity. KTx recipients with BKPyV reactivation mount a robust humoral response, but this often fails to clear the virus. In order to characterize the BKPyV-specific B-cell receptor...
