Advances in Virology, 2011 Xenotropic-murine-leukemia-virus-related virus (XMRV) was the first gammaretrovirus to be reported in humans. The sequence similarity between XMRV and murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) was consistent with an origin of XMRV from one or more MLVs present as ...

Frequent Infection of Human Cancer Xenografts with Murine Endogenous Retroviruses in Vivo
Viruses, 2015 Infection of human cancer xenografts in mice with murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) is a long-standing observation, but the likelihood of infection in vivo and its biological consequences are poorly understood.

The saga of XMRV: a virus that infects human cells but is not a human virus
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2014 Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was discovered in 2006 in a search for a viral etiology of human prostate cancer (PC). Substantial interest in XMRV as a potentially new pathogenic human retrovirus was driven by reports that XMRV ...

Virology, 1997 We report the complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of Rauscher murine leukemia virus (R-MuLV), the replication-competent helper virus present in the Rauscher virus complex, and its phylogenetic relationship with other murine leukemia virus genomes. An overall sequence identity of 97.6% was found between R-MuLV and the Friend helper virus (F-MuLV),

Absence of XMRV and closely related viruses in primary prostate cancer tissues used to derive the XMRV-infected cell line 22Rv1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The 22Rv1 cell line is widely used for prostate cancer research and other studies throughout the world. These cells were established from a human prostate tumor, CWR22, that was serially passaged in nude mice and selected for androgen independence.

Transplacental transmission of a leukemogenic murine leukemia virus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1993 Recombinant inbred BXH-2 mice spontaneously produce a B-tropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV) beginning early in life and have a high incidence of spontaneous myeloid leukemia. These traits are not characteristic of the progenitor strains (C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ) or of 11 other recombinant inbred BXH strains.

No association between XMRV or related gammaretroviruses in Australian prostate cancer patients
Virology Journal, 2013 Background Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus reported to be associated with prostate cancer (PC) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Positive selection and increased antiviral activity associated with the PARP-containing isoform of human zinc-finger antiviral protein. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 Intrinsic immunity relies on specific recognition of viral epitopes to mount a cell-autonomous defense against viral infections. Viral recognition determinants in intrinsic immunity genes are expected to evolve rapidly as host genes adapt to changing ...

Structure and Leukemogenic Activity of a Murine Leukemia Virus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1968 Purified Friend viruses obtained from chronically infected tissue cultures were studied under the electron microscope in an effort to correlate the fine structure of the particles to their leukemogenic activity under varied experimental conditions, i.e., temperature treatments and exposure to Tween 80, amyl acetate, or ether.

Characterization of Leukemia-Inducing Genes Using a Proto-Oncogene/Homeobox Gene Retroviral Human cDNA Library in a Mouse In Vivo Model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The purpose of this research is to develop a method to screen a large number of potential driver mutations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a retroviral cDNA library and murine bone marrow transduction-transplantation system.
