Internally controlled triplex quantitative PCR assay for human polyomaviruses JC and BK.
We have developed a triplex TaqMan-based quantitative PCR assay for the human polyomaviruses JC (JCPyV) and BK (BKPyV). The assay simultaneously detects and quantifies both JCPyV and BKPyV in human clinical samples, and it includes an internal amplification control consisting of murine polyomavirus (MuPyV) plasmid DNA. We developed the assay for the Roche LightCycler 480 platform with the repor...
متن کاملNew commercially available PCR and microplate hybridization assay for detection and differentiation of human polyomaviruses JC and BK in cerebrospinal fluid, serum, and urine samples.
JC and BK human polyomaviruses (family Polyomaviridae) may cause severe neurological or urinary tract pathologies in immunocompromised hosts. In the present study, we evaluated a new commercially available PCR and microplate colorimetric hybridization assay for the standardized differential detection of JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) genomes in clinical samples. This JC/BK Consensus test was...
متن کاملBK Polyomavirus in Respiratory Specimens of Patients with Respiratory Disease
Background and Aims: The role of BK and JC polyomaviruses (BKV and JCV) in the causation of respiratory disease and the natural route of transmission has not well been established. The aim of study was to determine the prevalence of BK and JC viruses in 280 respiratory samples and evaluate their contribution to respiratory disease. Materials and Methods: PCR was used to screen specimens for BK...
متن کاملAdvances in Human Polyomaviruses Field
Up to 2007, two human polyomaviruses BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV) were known and named after the initials of the patients where they were first isolated. BKV was isolated from the urine of a kidney transplant patient affected by urethral stenosis [1]. JCV was identified in the brain tissue of a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma who developed a demyelinating disease known as progressive multifocal leuk...
متن کاملBK and JC polyomaviruses are not associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
We sought to determine if the BK and JC polyomaviruses were associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We did not detect the BK or JC polyomaviruses in lung tissue extracts from 33 patients with IPF by using real-time PCR, which suggests that an etiologic association is unlikely.
