Serologic response to BK Virus following human infection with SV40.
A small group of human volunteers given live SV40 virus, and who sero-converted to SV40, did not develop any heterologous antibody response to BK virus, even when BK antibody was demonstrated in preinfection sera. SV40 infection does not appear to contribute significantly to the patterns of BK antibody seen in human populations.
