  2. 1. Human Endogenous Retroviruses: Expression and Evolutionary Relationships

    Author : Marie-Louise Andersson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; bakteriologi; expression; transcription; reverse transcriptase; HERV; phylogeny; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : The human genome contains genetic elements which are more or less similar to infectious retroviruses. These are called human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and are thought to be remnants of infections in the primate lineage. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of human endogenous retroviruses and of the TGF-beta signaling pathway

    Author : Christian Kjellman; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; high-density filter array; gliom; TGF-beta; XA34; Human endogenous retrovirus; HERV-F; transplantation; serologi; Immunologi; serology; Immunology;

    Abstract : The human genome, in common with all mammalian genomes, carries a high load of inheritable retroviral sequences. We have identified and characterized a novel family of these endogenous retroviruses and have named this family HERV-F as based on the primer binding sites of three members. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcription, splicing and genetic structure within the human endogenous retroviral HERV-H family

    Author : Mats Lindeskog; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; immunosuppressive envelope protein; RNA splicing; Human endogenous retrovirus; transcription; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are remains of ancient retroviral infections of the germ line and constitute as much as 3 % of the human genome. HERVs are genetic elements that potentially may provide important biological functions by several different mechanisms. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genomic Variation and Evolution of HERV-H and other Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs)

    Author : Patric Jern; Jonas Blomberg; Michael Tristem; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; Endogenous Retrovirus ERV ; HERV-H; Phylogeny; Evolution; Sequence Variation; Polymorphism; Recent Integrations; Horizontal Transfer; Master Elements; Taxonomy; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar;

    Abstract : An exogenous retrovirus (XRV) that integrates into a germ cell may be inherited as a Mendelian gene; it becomes an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). The human genome consists of up to 8% HERVs. The gammaretroviral (ERV class I) HERV-H, with 926 members, is the largest ERV group. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endogenous Retroviral RNA Expression in Humans

    Author : Lijuan Hu; Jonas Blomberg; Göran Friman; Francois Mallet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; Human endogenous retrovirus HERV ; HERVE; HERVW; betaretrovirus; gammaretrovirus; RNA expression; real time PCR; endometrium; endometriosis; brain tissue; reproductive tissue; ovarian cancer; ovary; neuroblastoma cell line; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute about 8% of the human genome. There are around 4000 pol-containing retroviral integrations in the human genome, which makes it impractical to measure each of them separately. READ MORE
