Most people infected with JCV are asymptomatic. In those receiving immunosuppressive therapies e.g., transplant recipients, and in the immunocompromised, JCV can cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a neurodegenerative disease that is often fatal. 1 The MGB Alert JCV primer mix ASR § amplifies, while the probe mix ASR detects, nucleic acids within the VP1 gene in JC virus. 1 Pietropaolo V, Prezioso C, Bagnato F, Antonelli G. John Cunningham virus: an overview on biology and disease of the etiological agent of the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
