Altered Transcriptional Activity of Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Neuroepithelial Cells after Infection with<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>
17 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) arose in antiquity from stable integration into the human genome. The mechanism for activation of HERVs has not been fully elucidated. Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is a medically important parasitic infection with worldwide distribution. To search for a tentative link between toxoplasmosis and HERV activation, HERV expression profiles of human neuroepithelial...
