Monitoring for PERV Following Xenotransplantation. [PDF]
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs. PERV-A, PERV-B and PERV-C can be released as infectious virus particles and PERV-A and PERV-B can infect human cells in culture.

OMICS Analyses in Xenotransplantation: Initial Findings, Key Precautions, and Virus Infections. [PDF]
ABSTRACT OMICS analyses have the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of rejection and other processes in xenotransplantation. These approaches may therefore contribute to extending the survival time of xenotransplants. Initial OMICS studies in brain‐dead patients following transplantation of pig kidneys or hearts revealed increased ...

Betaherpesvirus Incidence in Saliva Samples From Patients With Hematological Neoplasms: Frequency, Clinic and Diagnostic Insights. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hematological neoplasms (HN) are disorders originating in blood cells that hold significant epidemiological importance. Treatments available for these conditions can induce immunosuppression, and it increases the risk of viral infections and reactivations, mainly by Human betaherpesviruses (HCMV, HHV‐6, and HHV‐7).

Combination of Anti-CD40 and Anti-CD40L Antibodies as Co-Stimulation Blockade in Preclinical Cardiac Xenotransplantation. [PDF]
The blockade of the CD40/CD40L immune checkpoint is considered essential for cardiac xenotransplantation. However, it is still unclear which single antibody directed against CD40 or CD40L (CD154), or which combination of antibodies, is better at ...

The landscape of viral associations in human cancers [PDF]
Here, as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium, for which whole-genome and—for a subset—whole-transcriptome sequencing data from 2,658 cancers across 38 tumor types was aggregated, we systematically investigated potential ...

Porcine cytomegalovirus/porcine roseolovirus (PCMV/PRV): A threat for xenotransplantation? [PDF]
The potential for a donor-derived transmission of porcine cytomegalovirus/porcine roseolovirus (PCMV/PRV) to the recipient has been recognized since pigs were considered candidate donors for xenotransplantation.

Identification and Characterization of Two Novel Viruses in Ocular Infections in Reindeer [PDF]
A thorough understanding of virus diversity in wildlife provides epidemiological baseline information about pathogens. In this study, eye swab samples were obtained from semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway during an outbreak

First virological and pathological study of Göttingen Minipigs with Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS).
Dippity Pig Syndrome (DPS) is a well-known but rare complex of clinical signs affecting minipigs, which has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Clinically affected animals show acute appearance of red, exudating lesions across the spine.
