Safety of Xenotransplantation: Development of screening methods and testing for porcine viruses [PDF]
Xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs might be a promising solution to overcome the shortage for organs suitable for allotransplantation. Because of several reasons, the pig is currently the favoured donor species.

Characterization of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus γ pro-pol Nucleotide Sequences [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endogenous retroviral sequences in the pig genome (PERV) represent a potential infectious risk in xenotransplantation. All known infectious PERV have been asssigned to the PERV γ1 family, consisting of the subfamilies A, B, and C.

Computational Evaluation of the Strict Master and Random Template Models of Endogenous Retrovirus Evolution. [PDF]
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that are able to replicate and move within and between host genomes. Their mechanism of replication is also shared with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which are also a type of TE that represent an ancient ...

Detection of infectious baboon cytomegalovirus after baboon-to-human liver xenotransplantation [PDF]
Xenotransplantation is considered to be a solution for the human donor shortage. However, there is a potential risk of transmitting animal infections from the transplanted organ.
