No evidence of XMRV in prostate cancer cohorts in the Midwestern United States [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2011 Background Xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related virus (XMRV) was initially identified in prostate cancer (PCa) tissue, particularly in the prostatic stromal fibroblasts, of patients homozygous for the RNASEL R462Q mutation.

Disease-associated XMRV sequences are consistent with laboratory contamination [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2010 Background Xenotropic murine leukaemia viruses (MLV-X) are endogenous gammaretroviruses that infect cells from many species, including humans. Xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a retrovirus that has been the subject of intense ...

The saga of XMRV: a virus that infects human cells but is not a human virus [PDF]
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2014 Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was discovered in 2006 in a search for a viral etiology of human prostate cancer (PC). Substantial interest in XMRV as a potentially new pathogenic human retrovirus was driven by reports that XMRV ...

Zinc-finger antiviral protein inhibits XMRV infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a host factor that specifically inhibits the replication of certain viruses, including Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV), HIV-1, and certain alphaviruses and filoviruses.
