Monitoring for PERV Following Xenotransplantation [PDF]
Transplant InternationalPorcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs. PERV-A, PERV-B and PERV-C can be released as infectious virus particles and PERV-A and PERV-B can infect human cells in culture.

Reliable Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods for Screening for Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses-C (PERV-C) in Pigs [PDF]
VirusesPorcine endogenous retrovirus C (PERV-C) is a gammaretrovirus present in the genome of many, but not all, pigs. It is an ecotropic virus, able to infect only pig cells.

Differential resistance to cell entry by porcine endogenous retrovirus subgroup A in rodent species [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2007 Background The risk of zoonotic infection by porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) has been highlighted in the context of pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The use of receptors for cell entry often determines the host range of retroviruses.

Characterization of porcine endogenous retrovirus insertion in Jeju native pigs and commercial breeds [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective This study aimed to characterize the genomic distribution and amino acid homology of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) subtypes in three pig breeds, Jeju native pigs (JNPs), Duroc, and Landrace.

Viruses, 2021 Minipigs play an important role in biomedical research and they have also been used as donor animals for preclinical xenotransplantations. Since zoonotic microorganisms including viruses can be transmitted when pig cells, tissues or organs are ...

Equivariant perverse sheaves on Coxeter arrangements and buildings [PDF]
Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique, 2019 When $W$ is a finite Coxeter group acting by its reflection representation on $E$, we describe the category ${\mathsf{Perv}}_W(E_{\mathbb C}, {\mathcal{H}}_{\mathbb C})$ of $W$-equivariant perverse sheaves on $E_{\mathbb C}$, smooth with respect to the ...

Neutralizing Antibodies Against the Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) [PDF]
VirusesXenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine zoonotic or xenozoonotic microorganisms. Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) pose a special risk for xenotransplantation as these viruses can ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The xenotransplantation of porcine tissues may help overcome the shortage of human organs for transplantation. However, there are some concerns about recipient safety because the risk of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) transmission to human cells ...

Viruses, 2017 Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs; they are released as infectious particles, and under certain conditions they can infect human cells. Therefore, they represent a risk when pigs are used as sources of cells,

Application of Methods Detecting Xenotransplantation-Relevant Viruses for Screening German Slaughterhouse Pigs [PDF]
VirusesDetection methods have been developed to prevent transmission of zoonotic or xenozoonotic porcine viruses after transplantation of pig organs or cells to the recipient (xenotransplantation).
