BK virus (BKV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that establishes a lifelong persistent infection in kidney epithelial cells. BKV reactivation within these cells results in a lytic infection in immunocompromised patients. Little is known about the specific interactions of BKV and the host cell during persistence and reactivation. We performed global cellular gene expression analyses using microarrays to characterize the global effect of BKV on primary kidney epithelial cells during the viral life c ...[more]
