Individuals with nonspecific and VP1-specific NK cells before KT and increasing numbers of these cells after KT may be at risk for high-level BKPyV DNAuria and presumptive BKPyVAN. Further studies are needed to determine the utility of BKPyV-specific innate immune surveillance in predicting the occurrence of BKPyVAN.
