Multiple JC virus genomes from one patient.
JC virus was previously isolated from the urine and from diseased brain of a patient with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. The DNAs of these isolates, MAD-7 and MAD-8 respectively, were shown in this study to be mixtures of several different full-length genomes. By differences in their restriction endonuclease cleavage patterns, the genomes were categorized into two types. Type I DNA...
متن کاملJC virus Type 1 has multiple subtypes: three new complete genomes.
The complete genomes of three new Type 1 strains of JC virus (JCV) from urine have been analysed. These were subtype 1A, subtype 1B and Type 4 as assigned from a short typing fragment in the VP1 gene. They differ from Mad1 (subtype 1A) by less than 1.0% of the DNA sequence. Based on its complete genome, the JCV Type 4 strain falls into a Type 1 subgroup. Type 4, with several Type 3-like sites i...
متن کاملHybrid genomes of the polyomaviruses JC virus, BK virus, and simian virus 40: identification of sequences important for efficient transformation.
Hybrid viral genomes were used to investigate the influence of specific polyomavirus sequences on the transforming behavior of JC virus (JCV). One set of chimeric DNAs was made by exchanging the regulatory regions between JCV and simian virus 40 (SV40) or JCV and BK virus (BKV). A second set of constructs was produced that expressed hybrid JCV-BKV T proteins under the control of either JCV or B...
متن کاملOligosaccharides as receptors for JC virus.
JC virus (JCV) belongs to the polyomavirus family of double-stranded DNA viruses and in humans causes a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Its hemagglutination activity and entry into host cells have been reported to depend on an N-linked glycoprotein containing sialic acid. In order to identify the receptors of JCV, we generated vir...
متن کاملCopy Number Heterogeneity of JC Virus Standards
Quantitative PCR is a diagnostic mainstay of clinical virology, and accurate quantitation of viral load among labs requires the use of international standards. However, the use of multiple passages of viral isolates to obtain sufficient material for international standards may result in genomic changes that complicate their use as quantitative standards. We performed next-generation sequencing ...
