<i>OFF</i> -Target Effects of Mycophenolic Acid on BK Polyomavirus Replication in Primary Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells
2026-01-21
Abstract excerpt
Tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolic acid (MPA) effectively reduce allograft rejection in kidney transplant recipients by inhibiting donor-specific lymphocyte activation and proliferation, respectively. However, this desired on-target effect is associated with uncontrolled BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-replication and premature kidney allograft failure in 10%-20% of recipients. Besides impairing BKPyV-specific immunity, T...
