Potential for virus endogenization in humans through testicular germ cell infection: the case of HIV
2020-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Viruses have colonized the germ line of our ancestors at several occasions during evolution, leading to the integration in the human genome of viral sequences from over 30 retroviral groups and a few non-retroviruses. Among the recently emerged viruses infecting humans, several target the testis (eg HIV, Zika and Ebola viruses). Here we aimed to investigate whether human testicular germ cells (TGCs) can support in...
