Expression of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) in different organs of a pig [PDF]

open access: yesVirology, 2012
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a particular risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues or organs. PERVs are integrated in the genome of all pig strains and can be released as particles that infect human cells. We performed for the first time a systematic analysis of PERV expression in different organs of a miniature pig ...

The origin of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs)

Archives of Virology, 2021
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs, and they produce viral particles that are able to infect human cells and therefore pose a special risk for xenotransplantation. In contrast to other pig microorganisms that also pose a risk, such as porcine cytomegalovirus and hepatitis E virus, PERVs cannot be eliminated

Inhibition of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) in primary porcine cells by RNA interference using lentiviral vectors

Archives of Virology, 2006
A potential risk in pig-to-human xenotransplantation is the transmission of PERVs to human recipients. Here we show for the first time the inhibition of PERV expression in primary porcine cells by RNA interference using lentiviral vectors. Cells were transduced with lentiviral vectors coding for short hairpin (sh) RNAs directed against PERV.

Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses in Xenotransplantation

2011
Organ transplant is an effective therapy for end-stage organ failure but is currently limited by the shortage of human donors. The possibility that animals could provide an alternative source of donor organs and cells or tissue, a process known as xenotransplantation, has stimulated much debate, with general agreement that the pig is the most promising
