Genomic insights into evolutionary journey of the porcine endogenous retroviruses

2018-10-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Xenotransplantation may overcome significant shortage of human allotransplant. Porcine organs are considered favorable for xenotransplantation duo to similar size and function to human organ. However, porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are potential infectious agents during xenotransplantation as they are able to infect and horizontally transfer among human cells. Furthermore, PERVs can b...
