Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a currently untreatable infection of the brain. Here, we demonstrate in 2 patients that treatment with interleukin 7, JC polyomavirus (JCV) capsid protein VP1, and a Toll-like receptor 7 agonist used as adjuvant, was well tolerated, and showed a very favorable safety profile and unexpected efficacy that warrant further investigation.
进行性多灶性白质脑病是一种目前无法治疗的脑部感染。在此,我们在两名患者中证明,使用白细胞介素7、JC多瘤病毒(JCV)衣壳蛋白VP1以及用作佐剂的Toll样受体7激动剂进行治疗,耐受性良好,显示出非常良好的安全性和意外的疗效,值得进一步研究。
