Database and Statistical Analyses of Transcription Factor Binding Sites in the Non-Coding Control Region of JC Virus

JC virus (JCV), as an archetype, establishes a lifelong latent or persistent infection in many healthy individuals. In immunocompromised patients, prototype JCV with variable mutations in the non-coding control region (NCCR) causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a severe demyelina...

description JC virus (JCV), as an archetype, establishes a lifelong latent or persistent infection in many healthy individuals.
