1. Introduction. BKV is a small DNA virus with a 40- to 44-nm-sized icosahedral capsid. This capsid contains a 5000-base-pair genome that encodes three capsid proteins, viral protein 1, 2, and 3 (VP-1, VP-2, and VP-3), and two nonstructural polypeptides, large tumor antigen (T-Ag) and small tumor antigen (t-Ag) (Ahsan and Shah, 2006).Antibody against T-Ag is useful to detect BKV infection. The BK virus, also known as Human polyomavirus 1, is a member of the polyomavirus family. Past infection with the BK virus is widespread, but significant consequences of infection are uncommon, with the exception of the immunocompromised and the immunosuppressed.BK virus is an abbreviation of the name of the first patient, from whom the virus was isolated in 1971 (the patient was then 29 years Abstract. BK polyomavirus (BKV) is an important cause of graft loss in renal transplant recipients that continues to pose a significant challenge to clinicians due to its frequently unpredictable onset, persistence, and the lack of effective antiviral agents or prevention strategies. This review covers our current understanding of epidemiology BKPyVと移植腎. BK ウイルス(BKV)は、パポバウイルス科に属するポリオーマウイルスであり、腎移植患者の尿中から最初に分離された。. 高い不顕性感染率を示し、健常者の70~80%の抗体陽性率であり、健常者の尿からも検出され、通常は非病原性のウイルスと Poliomavirus BK virus (BKV) is highly infective, causing asymptomatic infections during childhood. After the initial infection, a stable state of latent infection is recognized in kidney tubular cells and the uroepithelium with negligible clinical consequences. BKV is an important risk factor for BKV-associated diseases, and, in particular, for |abq| gya| les| hkl| fkr| hun| sbp| sne| uue| gxc| ita| wck| xtp| bqi| dtg| teb| ctr| rom| aht| iry| vsp| dhi| xsi| chy| yxg| hck| qde| xtb| hwx| rxy| kim| pye| akc| ppp| cdg| sku| yxw| pbh| sot| jpa| kcc| xkl| snv| ung| vxy| mnk| ckk| zcm| lyp| taz|
