Differential resistance to cell entry by porcine endogenous retrovirus subgroup A in rodent species

BACKGROUND: The risk of zoonotic infection by porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) has been highlighted in the context of pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The use of receptors for cell entry often determines the host range of retroviruses. A human-tropic PERV subgroup, PERV-A, can enter human cel...
