DIFFERENTIAL T CELL RESPONSE AGAINST BK VIRUS REGULATORY AND STRUCTURAL ANTIGENS: A VIRAL DYNAMICS MODELLING APPROACH.

Differential T cell response against BK virus regulatory and structural antigens: A viral dynamics modelling approach.

BK virus (BKV) associated nephropathy affects 1-10% of kidney transplant recipients, leading to graft failure in about 50% of cases.Immune responses against different BKV antigens have been shown to have a prognostic value for disease development.Data currently suggest that the structural antigens and regulatory antigens of BKV might each trigger a
