#BKvirus can harm #kidney transplants. Which risks can be changed❓
#MedUniVienna analysed ~197,000 cases: some drugs raise risk, but it’s the interaction + immune fitness that matter.

Nonclinical and clinical characterization of MAU868, a novel human-derived monoclonal neutralizing antibody targeting BK polyomavirus VP1
Reactivation of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) can cause significant kidney and bladder disease in immunocompromised patients. There are currently no effective, BKPyV-specific therapies. MAU868 is a novel, human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody that binds the major capsid protein, VP1, of BKPyV with picomolar affinity, neutralizes infection by the 4 major BKPyV genotypes (EC50 ranging from 0.009-0.093 μg/mL; EC90 ranging from 0.102-4.160 μg/mL), and has comparable activity against variants with highly prevalent VP1 polymorphisms.
