OFF-Target Effects of Mycophenolic Acid on BK Polyomavirus Replication in Primary Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Caroline A. Hillenbrand, Dorssa Akbari Bani, Océane M. Follonier…·Hans Hellmuth Hirsch

This study investigates how mycophenolic acid (MPA) inhibits BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) replication in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells through off-target effects, showing that guanosine can reverse this inhibition.

Structural implications of BK polyomavirus sequence variations in the major viral capsid protein Vp1 and large T-antigen: a computational study

Janani Durairaj, Océane M. Follonier, Karoline Leuzinger…·Hans Hellmuth Hirsch

This study analyzes BKPyV sequence variations in Vp1 and LTag using computational methods, finding high variability in Vp1 that may impact immune control and vaccine design, while LTag shows less variability but potential effects on T-cell epitopes.
