Spatiotemporal variations in retrovirus-host interactions among Darwin’s finches

Nature Communications, 2022
Endogenous retroviruses (ERV) are inherited remains of retroviruses that have colonized host genomes during evolution. Here the authors observe considerable species-specific ERV variation among Darwin’s finches, reflecting historic retrovirus-host ...

Complete genome sequences of two feline Leukemia virus subgroup B isolates with novel recombination sites [PDF]

, 2013
It is generally accepted that all primary isolates of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) contain a subgroup A virus (FeLV-A) that is essential for transmission.

Human endogenous retrovirus-H insertion screening

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2013
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and ERV-like sequences comprise 8% of the human genome. We aimed to analyze genome integration polymorphisms of human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-H by the inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) technique using the sequences of LTR7A (450 bp), LTR7B (445 bp) and LTR7C (471 bp).

Identification of receptors for pig endogenous retrovirus [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Xenotransplantation of porcine tissues has the potential to treat a wide variety of major health problems including organ failure and diabetes. Balanced against the potential benefits of xenotransplantation, however, is the risk of human infection with a porcine microorganism.

Deltaretroviruses have circulated since at least the Paleogene and infected a broad range of mammalian species

Retrovirology, 2019
The Deltaretrovirus genus of retroviruses (family Retroviridae) includes the human T cell leukemia viruses and bovine leukemia virus (BLV). Relatively little is known about the biology and evolution of these viruses, because only a few species have been ...

Loss of histone reader Phf7 leads to immune pathways activation via endogenous retroviruses during spermiogenesis

iScience, 2023
Summary: Genetic studies have elucidated the critical roles of Phf7 in germline development in animals; however, the exact etiology of Phf7 mutations leading to male infertility and the possibility of mechanism-based therapy are still unclear and warrant

Assessment of porcine endogenous retrovirus transmission across an alginate barrier used for the encapsulation of porcine islets [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous implantation of a macroencapsulated patch containing human allogenic islets has been successfully used to alleviate type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in a human recipient without the need for immunosuppression.

Ancestry of a human endogenous retrovirus family [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1989
The human endogenous retrovirus type II (HERVII) family of HERV genomes has been found by Southern blot analysis to be characteristic of humans, apes, and Old World monkeys. New World monkeys and prosimians lack HERVII proviral genomes. Cellular DNAs of humans, common chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, but not lesser ape lar gibbons, appear to ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Truncation of TRIM5 in the Feliformia explains the absence of retroviral restriction in cells of the domestic cat [PDF]

, 2009
TRIM5[alpha] mediates a potent retroviral restriction phenotype in diverse mammalian species. Here, we identify a TRIM5 transcript in cat cells with a truncated B30.2 capsid binding domain and ablated restrictive function which, remarkably, is conserved ...
