No association of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus with prostate cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome in Japan [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2011
Background The involvement of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) in prostate cancer (PC) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is disputed as its reported prevalence ranges from 0% to 25% in PC cases and from 0% to more than 80% in CFS ...

Probing the viral replication of HCV and XMRV : biochemical characterization, inhibition kinetics and role of host proteins in viral replication [PDF]

, 2015
The studies described in this thesis focus on RNA viruses XMRV and HCV. In Chapter II we focused on Xenotropic Murine leukemia-Related Virus (XMRV). We characterized the biochemical activity and kinetics of the XMRV reverse transcriptase and discovered ...

Characterization of antibodies elicited by XMRV infection and development of immunoassays useful for epidemiologic studies [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2010
Background Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-related Virus (XMRV) is a human gammaretrovirus recently identified in prostate cancer tissue and in lymphocytes of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

No evidence for XMRV association in pediatric idiopathic diseases in France [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2010
Retroviruses have been linked to a variety of diseases such as neoplastic and immunodeficiency disorders and neurologic and respiratory diseases. Recently, a novel infectious human retrovirus, the xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV ...

Lack of evidence for xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus(XMRV) in German prostate cancer patients [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2009
Background A novel gammaretrovirus named xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) has been recently identified and found to have a prevalence of 40% in prostate tumor samples from American patients carrying a homozygous R462Q mutation in the

Phylogeny-Directed Search for Murine Leukemia Virus-Like Retroviruses in Vertebrate Genomes and in Patients Suffering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Prostate Cancer

Advances in Virology, 2011
Gammaretrovirus-like sequences occur in most vertebrate genomes. Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV) like retroviruses (MLLVs) are a subset, which may be pathogenic and spread cross-species.

XMRV, prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome [PDF]

British Medical Bulletin, 2011
A new retrovirus, xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV), was identified in 2006 and an association was claimed between it and a genetic polymorphism predisposing to cancer of the prostate. In 2009 the same virus was identified in a cohort of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Susceptibility of human lymphoid tissue cultured ex vivo to xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundXenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was generated after a recombination event between two endogenous murine leukemia viruses during the production of a prostate cancer cell line. Although the associations of the XMRV infection

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 ...
