Endogenous retrovirus ERV-DC8 highly integrated in domestic cat populations is a replication-competent provirus
2024-05-09
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections in vertebrate genomes and are inherited by offspring. ERVs can produce pathogenic viruses through gene mutations or recombination. ERVs in domestic cats (ERV-DCs) generate feline leukemia virus subgroup D (FeLV-D) through viral recombination. Herein, we characterized the locus ERV-DC8, on chromosome B1, as an infectious replication-compet...
