Detection of a gammaretrovirus, XMRV, in the human population: Open questions and implications for xenotransplantation [PDF]
XMRV (xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus) is a gammaretrovirus that has been detected in human patients with prostate carcinoma, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and also in a small percentage of clinically healthy individuals.

Polymorphic Integrations of an Endogenous Gammaretrovirus in the Mule Deer Genome [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endogenous retroviruses constitute a significant genomic fraction in all mammalian species. Typically they are evolutionarily old and fixed in the host species population. Here we report on a novel endogenous gammaretrovirus (CrERVγ; for cervid endogenous gammaretrovirus) in the mule deer ( Odocoileus ...

Endogenous Gammaretrovirus Acquisition in Mus musculus Subspecies Carrying Functional Variants of the XPR1 Virus Receptor [PDF]
ABSTRACT The xenotropic and polytropic mouse leukemia viruses (X-MLVs and P-MLVs, respectively) have different host ranges but use the same functionally polymorphic receptor, XPR1, for entry. Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) of these 2 gammaretrovirus subtypes are largely segregated in different house mouse subspecies, but both MLV

Gammaretrovirus mRNA expression is mediated by a novel, bipartite post-transcriptional regulatory element [PDF]
Post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of several complex and simple retroviruses and retroelements have been elucidated, with the exception of the gammaretrovirus family.

Most viruses infect only a few hosts, but the xenotropic and polytropic mouse leukemia viruses (X/P-MLVs) are broadly infectious in mammalian species. X/P-MLVs use the XPR1 receptor for cell entry, and tropism differences are due to polymorphisms in XPR1 and the viral envelope.

A Cellular Restriction Dictates the Permissivity of Nondividing Monocytes/Macrophages to Lentivirus and Gammaretrovirus Infection [PDF]
Primate lentiviruses, including HIV-1, transduce terminally differentiated, nondividing myeloid cells; however, these cells are refractory to infection by gammaretroviruses such as murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we present evidence that a cellular restriction is the obstacle to transduction of macrophages by MLV.
