• Gammaretrovirus is a genus in the Retroviridae family. (wikipedia.org)
  • Gammaretrovirus is a part of the retroviridae family. (wikipedia.org)
  • Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus (XMRV) is a newly identified retrovirus and the first gammaretrovirus of the Retroviridae family detected in humans. (phoenixrising.me)
  • A specific gammaretrovirus called xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) has been found to infect prostate cancer tissue in laboratories. (wikipedia.org)
  • As it points out, the finding that XMRV was a "cell culture contaminant" as opposed to a clinically important pathogen highlighted an important fact: that murine endogenous gammaretroviruses were infecting commonly used laboratory human cell lines. (meresearch.org.uk)
  • In fact, since XMRV was discovered, many additional cell lines have been shown to harbour these gammaretroviruses, threatening not only the invalidation of experimental results but also the cross-contamination of uninfected cell lines grown in the same laboratory. (meresearch.org.uk)
  • A novel gammaretrovirus named xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) has been recently identified and found to have a prevalence of 40% in prostate tumor samples from American patients carrying a homozygous R462Q mutation in the RNaseL gene. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Neither in the 76 specimens homozygous for the QQ allele, nor in any of the other samples could XMRV or a related gammaretrovirus be detected. (biomedcentral.com)
  • FDA is updating the committee on XMRV, the newly identified human retrovirus (a gammaretrovirus), and FDAs collaborative efforts with other public health agencies and blood establishments to determine whether XMRV poses a safety concern for the blood supply. (phoenixrising.me)
  • Using data for almost 90,000 retroviruses that have worked their way into dozens of vertebrate host genomes, the researchers assessed relationships between viruses in a genus called Gammaretrovirus . (genomeweb.com)
  • The Tursiops truncates endogenous retrovirus original invasion dates back to approximately 10-19 million years ago, and was identified in killer whale endogenous gammaretrovirus which invaded over 3 million years ago. (wikipedia.org)
  • We examined the evolutionary history of a cervid endogenous gammaretrovirus (CrERVγ) in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). (psu.edu)
  • This gammaretrovirus called Tursiops truncates endogenous retrovirus, was thought to be from extant mammalian endogenous gammaretroviruses. (wikipedia.org)
  • One specific gammaretrovirus that is commonly used as a retroviral vector is the Moloney murine leukemia virus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Many endogenous retroviruses, closely related to exogenous gammaretroviruses, are present in the DNA of mammals (including humans), birds, reptiles and amphibians. (wikipedia.org)
  • Gammaretroviruses are similar to other retroviruses and reverse transcribe a positive single strand RNA into double stranded DNA. (wikipedia.org)
  • Furthermore, the viral vector market is mainly bifurcated into the lentivirus, adeno-associated virus, retrovirus & gammaretrovirus, modified herpes simplex virus, and adenovirus. (dreampirates.us)
  • Researchers also looked into several different types of bat species to solidify the claim that bats are the main reservoir for gammaretroviruses. (wikipedia.org)
  • In 2009, another endogenous gammaretroviruses were detected in a species of killer whale, as well as nine other cetacean genomes. (wikipedia.org)
  • So gammaretrovirus genomes are present in both aquatic and terrestrial mammal species. (wikipedia.org)
  • A species of GAMMARETROVIRUS causing leukemia, lymphosarcoma, immune deficiency, or other degenerative diseases in cats. (harvard.edu)
  • Species of GAMMARETROVIRUS isolated from fibrosarcoma in cats. (bvsalud.org)
  • So, you just injected the envelope of HIV … a syncytin gammaretrovirus envelope, and a SARS S2 receptor binding domain. (fromthetrenchesworldreport.com)
  • Construction of a gammaretrovirus with a novel tropism and wild-type replication kinetics capable of using human APJ as entry receptor. (southernbiotech.com)
  • Gammaretroviruses in animals are implicated in a wide range of diseases including cancers, immunodeficiency, and neurological disorders. (phoenixrising.me)
  • Gammaretroviruses are very popular retroviral vectors in laboratory studies. (wikipedia.org)
  • Los virus son realmente virus de la leucemia felina recombinantes (FeLV), en los que parte del genoma ha sido reemplazada por oncogenes celulares. (bvsalud.org)
  • Gammaretroviruses have a wide range of implications for animals. (wikipedia.org)
  • So, it is possible for bats to harbor not only one, but several types of gammaretroviruses. (wikipedia.org)
  • There have also been claimed discoveries of murine gammaretroviruses in lung cancer cell lines. (wikipedia.org)
