Monitoring for PERV Following Xenotransplantation [PDF]

Transplant International
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs. PERV-A, PERV-B and PERV-C can be released as infectious virus particles and PERV-A and PERV-B can infect human cells in culture.

Structure of the Core Postfusion Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Fusion Protein

mBio, 2022
Retroviral elements from endogenous retroviruses have functions in mammalian physiology. The best-known examples are the envelope proteins that function in placenta development and immune suppression.

Virological and Parasitological Characterization of Mini-LEWE Minipigs Using Improved Screening Methods and an Overview of Data on Various Minipig Breeds

Microorganisms, 2021
Minipigs play an important role in biomedical research and have also been used as donor animals in xenotransplantation. To serve as a donor in xenotransplantation, the animals must be free of potential zoonotic viruses, bacteria and parasites.

Genomic Validation of PERV-C-Free Pigs to Support Xenotransplantation. [PDF]

Xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are present in the germ lines of domesticated pigs (Sus scrofa) and related suids. There are three types of PERVs, PERV‐A, ‐B, and ‐C, which differ in their host range. PERV‐A and ‐B can infect human and porcine cells, while PERV‐C only infects porcine cells. PERV‐A and ‐B are found in the genomes of all

Microchimerism, PERV and Xenotransplantation

Viruses, 2023
Microchimerism is the presence of cells in an individual that have originated from a genetically distinct individual. The most common form of microchimerism is fetomaternal microchimerism, i.e., cells from a fetus pass through the placenta and establish ...
