title: Involvement of gangliosides in the interaction between BK virus and Vero cells.
abstract: BK virus infectivity was inhibited by gangliosides extracted from Vero cells and by standard preparations of different gangliosides. Gangliosides were also able to restore the susceptibility of glycosidase-treated Vero cells to BK virus infection.
