Amplification of simian retroviral sequences from human recipients of baboon liver transplants [PDF]
, 1998 Investigations into the use of baboons as organ donors for human transplant recipients, a procedure called xenotransplantation, have raised the specter of transmitting baboon viruses to humans and possibly establishing new human infectious diseases ...

Cross- and Co-Packaging of Retroviral RNAs and Their Consequences
Viruses, 2016 Retroviruses belong to the family Retroviridae and are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles that contain a dimeric RNA genome. Retroviral particle assembly is a complex process, and how the virus is able to recognize and specifically capture the genomic RNA

Screening donors for xenotransplantation: The potential for xenozoonoses [PDF]
, 1994 Xenotransplantation is a potential solution to the current donor shortage for solid organ transplantation. The transmission of infectious agents from donor organs or bone marrow to the recipient is a well-recognized phenomenon following ...

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012 Highly active antiretroviral therapy has dramatically improved the morbidity and mortality of HIV-1-infected individuals. A total of 25 licensed drugs provide the basis for an optimized virus-suppressive treatment of nearly each subject.

Science, 1983 First brought to scientific attention as infectious cancer-causing agents nearly 80 years ago, retroviruses are popular in contemporary biology for many reasons. (i) The virus life cycle includes several events—in particular, reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome into DNA, orderly integration of viral DNA into host chromosomes, and utilization ...

Baillière's Clinical Haematology, 1992 It was only in 1980 that the first human retrovirus, HTLV-1, was isolated. Since then, HTLV-2, HIV-1 and HIV-2 have been identified. All four viruses are transmitted with varying efficiency sexually, vertically from mother to infant, and through blood by transfusion or contamination.

The Role of Lipids in Retrovirus Replication
Viruses, 2010 Retroviruses undergo several critical steps to complete a replication cycle. These include the complex processes of virus entry, assembly, and budding that often take place at the plasma membrane of the host cell.

Nuclear Trafficking of Retroviral RNAs and Gag Proteins during Late Steps of Replication
Viruses, 2013 Retroviruses exploit nuclear trafficking machinery at several distinct stages in their replication cycles. In this review, we will focus primarily on nucleocytoplasmic trafficking events that occur after the completion of reverse transcription and ...

Retroviruses, retroelements and their restrictions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Human retroviruses, HIV and HTLV have been recognized as important pathogens because of their association with lethal diseases such as AIDS and ATL. Considerable resources and efforts have been directed at understanding the interaction between these retroviruses and their host which may provide clues as to how the infection can be controlled or ...

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2008 The genomes of vertebrates contain sequences that are similar to present-day exogenous retroviruses. Such sequences, called endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), have resulted from ancestral germ line infections by exogenous retroviruses which have thereafter been transmitted in a Mendelian fashion. By analogy to exogenous tumorigenic retroviruses, ERVs have
