Characteristics of different solid-phase immunoassay formats for the measurement of BK virus immunoglobulin M in sera of patients on renal dialysis or with kidney allografts.

چکیده
Solid-phase immunoglobulin M (IgM) antigen capture enzyme immunoassay (AgCEIA) and antibody capture enzyme immunoassay (AbCEIA) were developed for the diagnosis of BK virus (BKV) infections. Of 37 serum samples from renal allograft recipients, 15 were positive for BKV IgM antibody by either AgCEIA, AbCEIA, or antigen capture radioimmunoassay. False-positive IgM results were observed in the AgCEIA in the presence of high levels of BKV IgG antibody (titers greater than or equal to 1:51,200), when rheumatoid factor (RF) titers were greater than or equal to 1:20, or in the presence of high levels of RF (titers greater than or equal to 1:10,240) when BKV hemagglutination inhibition titers exceeded 1:40. False-positives due to RF could be eliminated by treatment of sera with anti-human IgG antisera or IgG-coated latex particles. The presence of RF did not, however, produce false-positive results in the AbCEIA. Both AgCEIA and AbCEIA were specific for BKV IgM antibody, as 14 serum samples containing either JC papovavirus, cytomegalovirus, rubella virus, hepatitis A virus, or hepatitis B virus core IgM antibody were negative in both EIAs. Comparison of results obtained for 37 serum samples revealed 14 positive by radioimmunoassay and 11 positive by both AgCEIA and AbCEIA. Both EIAs detected BKV IgM antibody in sera of renal allograft patients and patients on renal dialysis who had reactivated BKV infections persisting for several months after transplantation.

Background: Primary infection with BK virus (BKV) is occurred during childhood and usually asymptomatic, but after initial infection, BKV may persist lifelong in the kidney and genitourinary tract. Reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. Due to the role of BKV in BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and po...

Background & Amis: BK polyomavirus (BKV) is common infection of childhood that persists in kidney epithelium. BKV reactivation characterized by viruria occurs in 35% to 57% of renal allograft recipients. BK virus was detected in serum samples in 6% to 29% of these patients. BKV-associated nephropathy occurs in as many as 8% of renal allograft recipients and may lead to . This study was carri...

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with seroprevalence in adults, ranging from 60 to 100%. It is considered as usual cause of renal dysfunction after the allograft renal transplantation nephropathy. Potent immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation can lower the rate of acute rejection. Therefore, untreated BKV infections lead to kidney allograft dysfunction or loss. In order to estimate...
متن کاملMonitoring of BK virus replication in the first year following renal transplantation.
BACKGROUND BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is one of the most common viral diseases affecting renal allografts. Screening for viral replication may allow for earlier intervention with reduced allograft loss. A plasma viral load >10(4) copies/mL of BKV DNA is recommended for a presumed diagnosis of BKVAN. METHODS We monitored BKV load on serum and urine samples by Real-Time TaqMan PCR ...
