The restriction of zoonotic PERV transmission by human APOBEC3G. [PDF]
The human APOBEC3G protein is an innate anti-viral factor that can dominantly inhibit the replication of some endogenous and exogenous retroviruses. The prospects of purposefully harnessing such an anti-viral defense are under investigation.

Vaccination against the Koala Retrovirus (KoRV): Problems and Strategies
The koala retrovirus (KoRV) is spreading in the koala population from the north to the south of Australia and is also in the process of endogenization into the koala genome.

Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Induces CXCL10 in Human Monocytes and Monocyte-Derived Primary Cells
Introduction: Pigs are suitable donor species for xenotransplantation and biological materials from these animals are used for this purpose for many years.

Inhibition of budding/release of porcine endogenous retrovirus [PDF]
AbstractPERV is integrated into the genome of all pigs. PERV‐A and PERV‐B are polytropic and can productively infect human cell lines, whereas PERV‐C is ecotropic. Recombinant PERV‐A/C can infect human cells and exhibits high titer replication. Therefore, use of pigs for human xenotransplantation raises concerns about the risks of transfer of this ...

Evidence and Consequence of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Recombination [PDF]
ABSTRACT The genetic nature and biological effects of recombination between porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) were studied. An infectious molecular clone was generated from a high-titer, human-tropic PERV isolate, PERV-A 14/220 (B. A. Oldmixon, et al. J. Virol. 76: 3045-3048, 2002; T. A.

Endogenous betaretroviruses of sheep: teaching new lessons in retroviral interference and adaptation [PDF]
The endogenous betaretroviruses of small ruminants offer an excellent model to investigate the biological relevance of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Approximately twenty copies of endogenous betaretroviruses (enJSRVs) are present in the genome of sheep

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Detection and Characterization of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus in Porcine Plasma and Porcine Factor VIII [PDF]
ABSTRACT The pig genome contains porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) capable of infecting human cells. Detection of infectious retrovirus in porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells and endothelial cells suggested to us that pig plasma is likely to contain PERV.

Extended Analysis of the In Vitro Tropism of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus [PDF]
ABSTRACTWe previously reported that mitogenic activation of porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells resulted in production of porcine endogenous retrovirus(es) (PERV[s]) capable of productively infecting human cells (C. Wilson et al., J. Virol. 72:3082–3087, 1998).
