Abstract

Conclusion: The results support the hypothesis of sL-selectin being connected to the anti-JCV antibody index values and possibly cellular L-selectin. Measurement of serum sL-selectin should be evaluated further as a potential biomarker for predicting the risk of developing PML. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
