Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses and Xenotransplantation, 2021 [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs, and some of them are able to infect human cells. Therefore, PERVs pose a risk for xenotransplantation, the transplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organ to humans in ...

How Active Are Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs)? [PDF]
Viruses, 2016 Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a risk factor if porcine cells, tissues, or organs were to be transplanted into human recipients to alleviate the shortage of human transplants; a procedure called xenotransplantation.

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 ...

High Prevalence of Recombinant Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERV-A/Cs) in Minipigs: A Review on Origin and Presence [PDF]
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 ...

Copy Number and Prevalence of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) in German Wild Boars [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of pigs and are transmitted like cellular genes from parents to the offspring. Whereas PERV-A and PERV-B are present in all pigs, PERV-C was found to be in many, but not all pigs.

Retroviral Insertion Polymorphism (RIP) of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) in Pig Genomes [PDF]
AnimalsEndogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are one of the superfamilies of long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTRs) in mice and humans. Approximately 8% of the pig genome is composed of sequences derived from LTRs. While the majority of ERVs in pigs have decayed,
