Title:
【発明の名称】エンベロープ特異的配列に基づくレトロウイルス亜型の検出
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001527416
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention is based upon the finding that porcine endogenous retroviruses exist in two different subtypes, which we have termed PERV-A and PERV-B. The differences are reflected in sequence divergence in the envelope genes, and these differences may be used to provide nucleic acid and antibody probes which can distinguish between the two subtypes. This allows patterns of subtype transmission between cells, particularly porcine to human cells, to be monitored.
