JC polyomavirus (JCV) DNAs from the urine of nonimmunocompromised individuals (designated archetypal isolates) regularly contain a regulatory sequence that may have generated various regulatory sequences of JCV isolates derived from the brain of patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). In this report, we constructed a phylogenetic tree for 14 isolates (7 archetypes and 7 PML types) from DNA sequence data on the VP1 (major capsid protein) gene. According to the phylogenetic ...[more]
