Abstract

We detected WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) in a bronchoalveolar lavage sample from lungs transplanted into a recipient with Job syndrome by using immunoassays specific for the WUPyV viral protein 1. Co-staining for an epithelial cell marker identified most WUPyV viral protein 1–positive cells as respiratory epithelial cells.
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) was discovered in a child with pneumonia in 2007 (1). Subsequent studies showed that WUPyV infection is common (24), and viral DNA can be detected in a variety of specimen types, including respiratory tract secretions (5). However, the virus has yet to be associated with any disease, and the specific cell type(s) infected by WUPyV has not been identified. Other human polyomaviruses are known pathogens, which typically cause disease in the context of immunosuppression (68).
Job syndrome is an immune disorder characterized by eczematoid dermatitis, recurrent skin and pulmonary infections, increased levels of IgE, and impaired T and B cell memory (9). This disorder is caused by dominant-negative mutations in the STAT3 gene (9). We report WUPyV cell tropism in lungs transplanted into a recipient with Job syndrome.

Ms. Siebrasse is a graduate student at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Her research interests focus on discovery and characterization of novel polyomaviruses.
