Polyoma viruses
Polyomaviruses, including BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV), are DNA viruses that can cause serious complications in immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients and patients with HIV/AIDS. BKV is associated with nephropathy and graft loss, while JCV can lead to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Sensitive detection is critical for clinical monitoring and risk assessment.
Polyomavirus PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a specific and sensitive method for detecting viral DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic applications and research use only (RUO) version, these PCR assays support a wide range of workflows, including transplant monitoring, neurological disease screening, and virology research from clinical samples.
