Lung adenocarcinoma originates from retrovirus infection of proliferating type 2 pneumocytes during pulmonary post-natal development or tissue repair [PDF]
Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) is a unique oncogenic virus with distinctive biological properties. JSRV is the only virus causing a naturally occurring lung cancer (ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma, OPA) and possessing a major structural protein that ...

Comparative virology of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2
Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first discovered human retrovirus and the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.

Vaccination directed against the human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope protein inhibits tumor growth in a murine model system [PDF]
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-

A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses [PDF]
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections of the host germline transmitted 1vertically from generation to generation. It is hypothesized that some ERVs are used by the host as 1restriction factors to block the infection

Differential resistance to cell entry by porcine endogenous retrovirus subgroup A in rodent species [PDF]
Background: The risk of zoonotic infection by porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) has been highlighted in the context of pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The use of receptors for cell entry often determines the host range of retroviruses.

Transcription of Endogenous Retrovirus Group K Members and Their Neighboring Genes in Chicken Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts [PDF]
Skeletal muscle myoblasts are myogenic precursor cells that generate myofibers during muscle development and growth. We recently reported that broiler myoblasts, compared to layer myoblasts, proliferate and differentiate more actively and promptly into ...

Betaretrovirus infections in dromedary camels in Saudi Arabia
Background Retroviral infections have been reported in many species of animals, especially cattle, sheep and goats. However, there are no available reports about retrovirus infection in dromedary camels. Several dromedary camels showed visible tumor‐like
