Molecular chaperones are best known for their ability to aid in the solubilization of mis-
folded proteins, and as a result play essential roles in protein folding, degradation, and …

BK virus (BKV), a human polyomavirus closely related to JC virus and Simian Virus 40, is
ubiquitous in human populations worldwide. After primary infection, BKV establishes a …

To assess the stability of polyomavirus antibodies in serial samples over time and the
incidence and age-specific prevalence of polyomavirus infections, we established enzyme …

The molecular chaperone and cytoprotective activities of the Hsp70 and Hsp40 chaperones
represent therapeutic targets for human diseases such as cancer and those that arise from …

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus that ubiquitously infects the human population. Following a
typically subclinical primary infection, BKV establishes a life-long persistent infection in the …

BACKGROUND To determine whether human polyomavirus (hPy) genomes are present in
prostate tissues, we have carried out a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening in two …

BK virus is a human polyomavirus associated with a range of clinical presentations from
asymptomatic viruria with pyuria to ureteral ulceration with ureteral stenosis in renal …

The BK polyomavirus (BKV) infects most of the human population, but clinically relevant
infections are mostly limited to individuals who are immunosuppressed. In transplant …

The two human polyomaviruses, BKV and JCV, have lived much of their lives in the
shadows of their more intensively studied simian and murine cousins, SV40 and Py. JCV …

Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a monkey virus that was introduced in the human population by
contaminated poliovaccines, produced in SV40-infected monkey cells, between 1955 and …
