Antibody Escape by Polyomavirus Capsid Mutation Facilitates Neurovirulence
2020-07-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> JCPyV polyomavirus, a member of the human virome, causes Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), an oft-fatal demyelinating brain disease in individuals receiving immunomodulatory therapies. Mutations in the major viral capsid protein, VP1, are common in JCPyV from PML patients (JCPyV-PML) but whether they confer neurovirulence or escape from virus-neutralizing antibody (nAb) in vivo i...
