Natural Antibodies Prevent in Vivo Transmission of Porcine Islet-Derived Endogenous Retrovirus to Human Cells
The discovery of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) has raised concerns regarding the safety of porcine xenotransplantation. However, transmission of PERV had not been observed in humans exposed to porcine tissue. We examined whether PERV derived from porcine pancreatic islet cells could infect...
