Figure Lengend Snippet: Locations (A) and sequences (B) of the primers and probe in the BKV genome. Broad lines indicate open reading frames. Broad purple lines indicate the early region which is predominantly expressed before viral DNA replication to encodes the large T-antigen (T-ag) and small t-antigen (t-ag); broad blue lines indicate the late region which is expressed late in the viral life cycle to encodes the agnoprotein and capsid proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3.
Article Snippet: PUC-57 plasmids containing the VP1 gene (GenBank accession no: AB298947.1 , 1610–2363 nt) of BKV were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China) as standards.
