Characterization of Insertional Variation of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses in Six Different Pig Breeds [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012
Pigs may need to be exploited as xenotransplantation donors due to the shortage of human organs, tissues and cells. Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are a significant obstacle to xenotransplantation because they can infect human cells in vitro and

A highly sensitive method for the detection of recombinant PERV-A/C env RNA using next generation sequencing technologies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Several xenogenic cell-based therapeutic products are currently under development around the world for the treatment of human diseases. Porcine islet cell products for treating human diabetes are a typical example.

Endogenic retroviruses of PERV A/C in genome of Ukrainian pigs and their correlation with the level of fat in carcasses

open access: yesБіологія тварин, 2021
The article presents the analysis of the PERV retrovirus subtypes A and C frequency in populations of Ukrainian and foreign breed pigs. Different frequencies of the PERV A/C genome presence in animals of the studied breeds were established.

First virological and pathological study of Göttingen Minipigs with Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS) is a well-known but rare complex of clinical signs affecting minipigs, which has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Clinically affected animals show acute appearance of red, exudating lesions across the spine.

Suboptimal porcine endogenous retrovirus infection in non-human primate cells: implication for preclinical xenotransplantation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) poses a potential risk of zoonotic infection in xenotransplantation. Preclinical transplantation trials using non-human primates (NHP) as recipients of porcine xenografts present the opportunity to assess ...

Microlocal sheaves and quiver varieties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We relate Nakajima Quiver Varieties (or, rather, their multiplicative version) with moduli spaces of perverse sheaves. More precisely, we consider a generalization of the concept of perverse sheaves: microlocal sheaves on a nodal curve X.

Cytotoxic Effects during Knock Out of Multiple Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) Sequences in the Pig Genome by Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFN) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to the shortage of suitable human donors for transplantation and pigs are currently favoured as donor animals.

Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses: Quantification of the Viral Copy Number for the Four Miniature Pig Breeds in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Domestic pigs has served not only as one of the most important economy livestock but also as ideal organ-source animals owing to similarity in anatomy, physiology, and organ size to humans.

Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Induces CXCL10 in Human Monocytes and Monocyte-Derived Primary Cells

open access: yesIntervirology, 2022
Introduction: Pigs are suitable donor species for xenotransplantation and biological materials from these animals are used for this purpose for many years.
