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

Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs): Generation of specific antibodies, development of an immunoperoxidase
assay (IPA) and inhibition by AZT

Xenotransplantation, 2001
Abstract: Xenotransplantation may be associated with the risk of transmission of microorganisms. In particular, the porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) have raised concerns as in vitro experiments show susceptibility of human cells for PERV infection.

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.
