Frequent detection of IFN-gamma -producing memory effector and effector T cells in patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and deadly demyelinating disease caused by JC virus (JCV) replication in the central nervous system. PML occurs exclusively in patients with severe underlying immune deficiencies, including AIDS and hematological malignancies. PML has also emerged as a significant threat to patients on potent new immunosuppressive biologics, including natalizumab in multiple sclerosis.
