Adaptive Evolution of a Tagged Chimeric Gammaretrovirus: Identification of Novel cis-Acting Elements that Modulate Splicing [PDF]
Retroviruses are well known for their ability to incorporate envelope (Env) proteins from other retroviral strains and genera, and even from other virus families. This characteristic has been widely exploited for the generation of replication-defective retroviral vectors, including those derived from murine leukemia virus (MLV), bearing heterologous ...

Feline Leukemia Virus in Cats: A Novel Rapid ELISA Assay for p27 Antigen Detection. [PDF]
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an oncogenic immunosuppressive virus belonging to the Retroviridae family and one of the most common causes of a major infectious disorder in cats that can lead to potentially fatal associated diseases with a worse prognosis.

The recent recognition that recombinant retrovirus vectors can induce oncogenic transformation has stimulated much interest in the pattern of vector integration sites. We report here on the integration pattern of a gammaretrovirus reporter vector following transduction and ex vivo culture of primary mouse bone marrow progenitor cells in the absence and

Viral vector‐based cancer treatment and current clinical applications
Adenovirus, adeno‐associated virus, herpes simplex virus, and retrovirus have been utilized for cancer treatment. Ex vivo treatment: cells isolated from the patients are genetically modified by viral vectors and then transfused back into patients.

Occurrence of Typical Domestic Animal Viruses in Wild Carnivorans: An Emerging Threat to the Conservation of Endangered Species. [PDF]
Wild species are susceptible to several typical domestic animal pathogens, and the increasingly close contact between these groups is a predictive factor for disease exposure. Some viruses are important and old‐known, and others are emerging or reemerging for domestic carnivorans and have been identified as threats to the conservation of wild mammals ...

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Abstract Mammalian endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviruses that have been integrated into genomes. ERVs were believed to be inactive until the discovery of ERV transcription in the mouse genome. However, the transcription level and function of ERV elements in mammalian genomes are not well understood.
