Virological Characterization of Pigs with Erythema Multiforme

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Erythema multiforme in pigs is an acute, self-limiting disease characterized by red skin areas and often associated with anorexia, fever and respiratory problems. The cause of the disease remains unknown.

A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections of the host germline transmitted 1vertically from generation to generation. It is hypothesized that some ERVs are used by the host as 1restriction factors to block the infection

Vaccination directed against the human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope protein inhibits tumor growth in a murine model system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-

[Endogenous porcine retroviruses and xenotransplantation]

open access: yes, 2000
Vertebrate DNA contains numerous genomes closely related to retroviruses, i.e. endogenous retroviruses. While most of the retroviruses are pathogenous, endogenous retroviruses have rarely been shown as such.

Evaluation of the Broad-Range PCR-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) System and Virus Microarrays for Virus Detection

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Advanced nucleic acid-based technologies are powerful research tools for novel virus discovery but need to be standardized for broader applications such as virus detection in biological products and clinical samples.

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 ...

Xenotransplantation: Perspectives and limits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Xenotransplantation faces the dilemma of an unlimited supply of cells, tissues and organs on the one hand and severe obstacles and limits on the other. One reason for the limitations is that the source animal of choice, the pig, and the human recipient ...

open access: yes, 2009
A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Master of PhilosophyHuman endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are estimated to form approximately 5% of the human genome.
