JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) established a persistent infection, but BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) killed the cells in 15 days. To identify the cellular factors responsible for controlling JCPyV infection and promoting viral persistence, we profiled the transcriptomes of JCPyV- and BKPyV-infected cells at several time points postinfection. We found that  interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) were only activated in the JCPyV and not in the BKPyV-infected cells. SOURCE: Walter Atwood (walter_atwood@brown.edu) -  Brown University
