JC virus (JCV)

JC virus (JCV) is a human polyomavirus that typically remains latent but may reactivate in immunocompromised individuals, leading to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) — a rare but often fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Accurate and early detection is critical for managing at-risk patients.
JC virus PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting viral DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools ensure accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked version for diagnostic workflows and research use only (RUO) format, these multiplex PCR assays are suitable for neurological disease diagnostics, transplant patient monitoring, and virology research from clinical samples.
