With the advent of the AIDS pandemic, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of opportunistic infections of the CNS. One of these opportunistic agents is JC virus (JCV), which causes a demyelinating disease of the CNS termed progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML). Once considered rare, today 4% of all patients with AIDS will develop PML,Ir2 which can be rapidly fatal, and consequently a significant factor in the mortality of the HIV-1 infected populace. However, even prior to the AIDS pandemic there had been considerable interest in JCV primarily because it was and still remains the only known human virus with tropism for the glial (oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) elements of the CNS. An extensive literature has subsequently emerged in the study of JCV and its role in the pathogenesis of PML. The first part of this review will examine the biology of JCV at both the cellular and molecular level. Special emphasis has been placed on the transcriptional regulation of JCV, since this is currently the most active area of investigation in the JCV lifecycle. The second part of the review will examine the clinical and pathological characteristics of JCV infection of the CNS. The final segment addresses several controversial areas which have emerged in the study of JCV.
