Sunnie Thompson's study of BK polyomavirus replication may lead to less failure of kidneys following organ transplant. The virus is silently harbored in most humans; when transplant recipients receive drugs to suppress their immune system to prevent graft rejection, the virus can reactivate and damage the kidney. Thompson's research points to a new way to reduce BK polyomavirus levels in transplant patients without reducing immunosuppressing drugs.
