Susceptibility of the human retrovirus XMRV to antiretroviral inhibitors [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2010 Background XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is the first known example of an exogenous gammaretrovirus that can infect humans. A limited number of reports suggest that XMRV is intrinsically resistant to many of the antiretroviral ...
