Reliable Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods for Screening for Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses-C (PERV-C) in Pigs [PDF]
Porcine endogenous retrovirus C (PERV-C) is a gammaretrovirus present in the genome of many, but not all, pigs. It is an ecotropic virus, able to infect only pig cells.

Increased titers of neutralizing antibodies after immunization with both envelope proteins of the porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) [PDF]
Despite enormous difficulties to induce antibodies neutralizing HIV-1, especially broadly neutralizing antibodies directed against the conserved membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the transmembrane envelope protein, such antibodies can be easily

The Relationship between Embryonic Development and the Efficiency of Target Mutations in Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs) Pol Genes in Porcine Embryos [PDF]
Porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) is a provirus found in the pig genome that may act as an infectious pathogen in humans who receive pig organ xenotransplantation.

Investigation of Polymorphisms Induced by the Solo Long Terminal Repeats (Solo-LTRs) in Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) [PDF]
Homologous recombination events take place between the 5′ and 3′ long terminal repeats (LTRs) of ERVs, resulting in the generation of solo-LTR, which can cause solo-LTR-associated polymorphism across different genomes.

Global Consultation for Clinical Xenotransplantation: International Xenotransplantation Association Consensus and Communiqué Update. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Xenotransplantation has entered a phase of accelerated clinical translation, necessitating renewed international consensus on governance, ethics, safety, and regulatory oversight. In September 2025, the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA), in partnership with The Transplantation Society (TTS) and with engagement from the World ...

Generation of neutralising antibodies against porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) [PDF]
Antibodies neutralising porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) were induced in different animal species by immunisation with the transmembrane envelope protein p15E. These antibodies recognised epitopes, designated E1, in the fusion peptide proximal region (FPPR) of p15E, and E2 in the membrane proximal external region (MPER).

Advancing Type 1 Diabetes Treatment: 3 PM-Oriented Innovations in Islet Transplantation and Biomaterial Engineering. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder marked by the immune‐mediated destruction of pancreatic β‐cells, resulting in insulin deficiency and dysregulated glucose control. Current therapies—such as insulin replacement and artificial pancreas systems—manage symptoms but fail to restore endogenous β‐cell function or halt disease ...

Structure of the Core Postfusion Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Fusion Protein
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.
