Quantitative Analysis of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses in Different Organs of Transgenic Pigs Generated for Xenotransplantation

The pig appears to be the most promising animal donor of organs for use in human recipients. Among several types of pathogens found in pigs, one of the greatest problems is presented by porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). Screening of the source pig herd for PERVs should include analysis of bot...
