2003-06-10ZeitschriftenartikelApproaching virus safety in xenotransplantation: A search for unrecognized herpesviruses in pigs Abstract: The identification of porcine viruses so far unrecognized is required to minimize virus-related risks associated with xenotransplantation. We used a pan-herpes consensus polymerase chain reaction assay to search ...

2009-11-30ZeitschriftenartikelBreakthrough zygomycosis on posaconazole prophylaxis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Antifungal prophylaxis with posaconazole (POS) has been shown to decrease the mortality associated with invasive fungal infections in high-risk patients. We report on a patient, with severe graft-versus-host disease after ...

2010-03-10ZeitschriftenartikelDetection of a gammaretrovirus, XMRV, in the human population: Open questions and implications for xenotransplantation XMRV (xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus) is a gammaretrovirus that has been detected in human patients with prostate carcinoma, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and also in a small percentage of clinically ...

2009-04-22ZeitschriftenartikelDistribution and expression of porcine endogenous retroviruses in multi-transgenic pigs generated for xenotransplantation Background: Multi-transgenic pigs produced for use in xenotransplantation have to be screened for the presence and expression of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) to select animals with low PERV load. The production ...

2012-04-01ZeitschriftenartikelInfection Barriers to Successful Xenotransplantation Focusing on Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses Xenotransplantation may be a solution to overcome the shortage of organs for the treatment of patients with organ failure, but it may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms and the development of ...

2008-03-10ZeitschriftenartikelKnockdown of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) expression by PERV-specific shRNA in transgenic pigs Background: Xenotransplantation using porcine cells, tissues or organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). More than 50 viral copies have been identified in the pig genome ...

2009-02-16ZeitschriftenartikelNo in vivo infection of triple immunosuppressed non-human primates after inoculation with high titers of porcine endogenous retroviruses Background: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) released from pig tissue can infect selected human cells in vitro and therefore represent a safety risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues, or organs. ...
