title: Human BK Polyomavirus Plasmid pBKV (34-2) (Dunlop) Contains Mutations Not Found in the Originally Published Sequences.
abstract: The plasmid pBKV (34-2) (ATCC 45025) contains the entire BK polyomavirus Dunlop genome. Sequencing revealed 12 point mutations compared to the GenBank sequence, but only 4 point mutations compared to the published sequence. The origin of these differences is unknown, but may impact virological as well as diagnostic research and development.
