The extraordinary evolutionary history of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses [PDF]
The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REVs) comprise several closely related amphotropic retroviruses isolated from birds. These viruses exhibit several highly unusual characteristics that have not so far been adequately explained, including their extremely

Efficient Prodrug Activator Gene Therapy by Retroviral Replicating Vectors Prolongs Survival in an Immune-Competent Intracerebral Glioma Model. [PDF]
Prodrug activator gene therapy mediated by murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based retroviral replicating vectors (RRV) was previously shown to be highly effective in killing glioma cells both in culture and in vivo.

The landscape of viral associations in human cancers [PDF]
Here, as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium, for which whole-genome and—for a subset—whole-transcriptome sequencing data from 2,658 cancers across 38 tumor types was aggregated, we systematically investigated potential ...

Broad-scale phylogenomics reveals insights into retroviral origin and gammaretrovirus-host evolution
The Retroviridae is a family of single-stranded positive-sense animal viruses united by a unique mechanism of replication. Numerous studies have demonstrated the host diversity and host–retrovirus evolutionary history of the Retroviridae. However, in the past it has been difficult to gain a deeper understanding owing to the lack of sufficient host ...

Inhibition of feline leukemia virus replication in chronically infected cell line utilizing RNA interference [PDF]
Feline Leukemia virus (FeLV) is a pathogenic retrovirus endemic among domestic cats, remaining a serious disease since its discovery in 1964. RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which double-stranded RNA induces the post-transcriptional sequence ...
