摘要

Human polyomavirus, designated KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) isolated from nasopharyngeal aspirates. KIPyV genome including capsid proteins VPl VP2 and VP3, small t antigen and large T antigen. KIPyV nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides, and use for production of diagnostic materials such as antibodies for identifying presence of the KIPyV or for production of vaccines against KIPyV. Methods and kits for diagnosing presence of KIPyV, and method of treating KIPyV infection.
