Abstract excerpt
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) sequences represent about 0.5% of the human genome. The only HERV known to express virus particles is human teratocarcinoma-derived virus (HTDV), which is now termed HTDV/HERV-K. Between 25 and 50 different copies of HERV-K are present in the human genome, three of which contain full-length genes for viral structural proteins. To determine whether genes of different HERV-K...
