Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Induces CXCL10 in Human Monocytes and Monocyte-Derived Primary Cells
Introduction: Pigs are suitable donor species for xenotransplantation and biological materials from these animals are used for this purpose for many years.

Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are present in the genome of all pigs, they infect certain human cells and therefore pose a special risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues and organs.

Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pig breeds. Since some of them are able to infect human cells, they might represent a risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells or organs. However, the expression and biological role of PERVs in healthy pigs as well as in porcine tumours is largely unknown.

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. Inactivation of the PERV pol gene in porcine cells reportedly affects cell growth.

Porcine endogenous retroviruses PERV A and A/C recombinant are insensitive to a range of divergent mammalian TRIM5alpha proteins including human TRIM5alpha. [PDF]
The potential risk of cross-species transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) to humans has slowed the development of xenotransplantation, using pigs as organ donors. Here, we show that PERVs are insensitive to restriction by divergent TRIM5α molecules despite the fact that they strongly restrict a variety of divergent lentiviruses.

Pig is the most promising species for transplantation of organs and cells into humans, although implementation of xenotransplantation in clinical practice has been hindered by the risk of infecting the recipient with zoonotic infectious diseases. Porcine

Computational Evaluation of the Strict Master and Random Template Models of Endogenous Retrovirus Evolution. [PDF]
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that are able to replicate and move within and between host genomes. Their mechanism of replication is also shared with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which are also a type of TE that represent an ancient ...
