Evaluating Neural Network Performance in Predicting Disease Status and Tissue Source of JC Polyomavirus from Patient Isolates Based on the Hypervariable Region of the Viral Genome.

Viruses
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) establishes a persistent, asymptomatic kidney infection in most of the population. However, JCPyV can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal demyelinatin...

Renal Function Impairment in Kidney Transplantation: Importance of Early BK Virus Detection.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: BK virus allograft nephropathy is a major complication of kidney transplantation that markedly reduces graft survival (50% graft failure 24 months after being diagnosed). BK virus replication can occur at any time posttransplantation. Vir...

Urinary exosomal viral microRNA as a marker of BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Bkv-miR-B1-5p, one of the microRNAs encoded by BK virus, was recently reported to be elevated in the blood among the patients with BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Urinary exosome was suggested to be a possible source of biomarker for kidney d...
