Extended Analysis of the In Vitro Tropism of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that mitogenic activation of porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells resulted in production of porcine endogenous retrovirus(es) (PERV[s]) capable of productively infecting human cells (C. Wilson et al., J. Virol. 72:3082-3087, 1998).
