The significance of porcine replication defect endogenous retroviruses in xenotransplantation

open access: yes, 2014
The shortage of human tissues and organs for allotransplantation can be overcome by xenotransplantation. As a source of organs, the miniature pig is convenient.

A Structural Characterization of the Core Post-fusion Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Fusion Protein

open access: yes, 2022
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are an understudied endogenous retrovirus that can infect human cells. PERV envelope glycoproteins have also been proposed as swine syncytin candidates.

Determination of the copy numbers of type A porcine endogenous retroviruses in domestic pigs and wild boars

open access: yes, 2016
Modern transplantology is in need of transplants. To solve this problem, the use of animal organs and tissues for grafting to humans (xenografts) has been proposed. However, the progress in this direction is hampered by the risk of zoogenous infection of

Detection of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) viremia in diseased versus healthy US pigs by qualitative and quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR

open access: yes, 2011
Previous studies have linked levels of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV)with poor health and disease in pigs. To determine the levels of expression ofPERVs and their potential association with disease expression, real-time reversetranscriptase (RT ...

Mapping full length porcine endogenous retroviruses in a Large White pig

open access: yes, 2001
Xenotransplantation may bridge the widening gap between the shortage of donor organs and the increasing number of patients waiting for transplantation.

Porcine endogenous retroviruses: in vitro host range and attempts to establish small animal models

open access: yes, 2001
Using transgenic pigs as the source of cells or organs for xenotransplantation is associated with the risk of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) transmission.
