6 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
That endogenous retrovirus (ERV) is present within the placenta of humans and other mammals has been known for the past 25 years, but the significance of this observation is still not fully understood.

The evidence for ERV in animal and human placental tissue is presented,...
