Transactivation of human endogenous retroviruses by tumor viruses and their functions in virus-associated malignancies
14 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), viral-associated sequences, are normal components of the human genome and account for 8-9% of our genome. These original provirus sequences can be transactivated to produce functional products. Several reactivated HERVs have been implicated in cancers and autoimmune diseases. An emerging body of literature supports a potential role of reactivated HERVs in viral diseases, in...
