Comparison of Replication-Competent Molecular Clones of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Class A and Class B Derived from Pig and Human Cells
15 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Vertically transmitted endogenous retroviruses pose an infectious risk in the course of pig-to-human transplantation of cells, tissues, and organs. Two classes of polytropic type C porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) which are infectious for human cells in vitro are known. Recently, we described the cloning and characterization of replication-competent PERV-B sequences from productively infected human cells...
