Endogenous retroviruses in primates [PDF]
Numerous endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are found in all mammalian genomes and represent retroviruses which have, by chance, integrated into the germline and are transmitted vertically from parents to offspring.

ABSTRACT Xenotransplantation represents a potential solution to the persistent global organ shortage, yet its clinical application remains stalled by complex immunologic responses, coagulation dysregulation, speciesāspecific biology, and infectious risks.

Beyond pathogens: the intriguing genetic legacy of endogenous retroviruses in host physiology
The notion that viruses played a crucial role in the evolution of life is not a new concept. However, more recent insights suggest that this perception might be even more expansive, highlighting the ongoing impact of viruses on host evolution. Endogenous

Endogenous retroviruses and cancer
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) abound in avian and mammalian genomes, including humans, as a result of germline infections by exogenous retroviruses. Most ERVs are defective for production of infectious virus.

Role of endogenous retroviruses in murine SLE
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by B cell hyperactivity leading to the production of various autoantibodies and subsequent development of glomerulonephritis, i.e. lupus nephritis.

Characterising and Mapping Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) [PDF]
The initial focus of this PhD project was on comparative gene mapping. Comparative gene mapping is facilitated by consensus PCR primers which amplify homologous gene fragments in many species.

Cell entry and exit of porcine endogenous retrovirus A: receptors and release inhibitor [PDF]
Following the discovery that porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) can infect human cells, the potential risk of a zoonotic infection by PERV has been a major obstacle in the xenotransplantation field.

Interplay between endogenous and exogenous human retroviruses
In humans, retroviruses thrive more as symbionts than as parasites. Apart from the only two modern exogenous human retroviruses (human T-cell lymphotropic and immunodeficiency viruses; HTLV and HIV, respectively), ~8% of the human genome is occupied by ...

Porcine endogenous retroviruses in xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs is under development to alleviate the shortage of human donor organs. Meanwhile, remarkably long survival times of pig organs in non-human primates have been reported, as well as the functionality of pig kidneys and hearts in brain-dead humans.
