    Abstract: The present invention relates to HGyV, a human gyrovirus related to the chicken anemia virus (CAV). The present invention also relates to a new proteins encoded by HGyV, which proteins display some homology to CAV proteins. Among these new proteins, H-apoptin is of particular interest as it is herein found for the first time in a human virus and can be used for treating cancer. Also provided are methods for detecting the HGyV virus in a subject.

  • IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL HUMAN POLYOMAVIRUS (IPPyV) AND APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20140024017
    Abstract: The invention relates to the identification of a novel human polyomavirus species (designated IPPyV) and applications derived from the identified features and properties of this virus. The IPPy virus species of the invention qualifies as a human virus, in view of the fact that it is capable of infecting a human host. Having identified a novel human polyomavirus species, IPPyV, the inventors have been able to propose means for the detection of exposure or infection by such a virus, especially detection in a biological sample previously obtained from a human host. The invention also concerns means suitable for obtaining an immune response in a host with a view to prevent the onset or the development of an infection with an IPPyV.
