Characterization of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Clones from the NIH Miniature Pig BAC Library

Pigs have been considered as donors for xenotransplantation in the replacement of human organs and tissues. However, porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) might transmit new infectious disease to humans during xenotransplantation. To investigate PERV integration sites, 45 PERV-positive BAC clones,...
