Distribution of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) DNA in organs of a domestic pig.
Domestic pig may serve as the most appropriate organ source for human xenotransplantation in the future. However, there is a serious threat of xenogeneic pathogens transmission, especially porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) which are present in genomes of all pigs. The aim of this study was to monitor the prevalence and distribution of PERV DNA in

Xenotransplantation is considered an alternative to allotransplantation to relieve the current shortage of human organs. Due to their similar size and physiology, the organs of pigs are of particular interest for this purpose. Endogenous retroviruses are

Die Xenotransplantation (XTx) vom Schwein auf den Menschen hat das Potenzial, den Mangel an menschlichen Allotransplantaten zu beheben. Trotz der erheblichen Fortschritte der letzten Jahre kann das zoonotische Risiko durch die potenzielle Übertragung porziner endogener Retroviren (PERVs) nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten porzinen

There is currently a shortage of organs available to perform allotransplants in humans, prompting the exploration of xenotransplantation as an alternative.

Xenotransplantation from pig to humans may be associated with the risk of transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) that are present in the genome of all pigs and that infect human cells in vitro. However, it remains unclear whether PERVs infect transplant recipients in vivo and, if so, whether they are pathogenic.
