Review
HIV infection and HERV expression: a review Antoinette C van der Kuyl Retrovirology 2012, 9:6 (16 January 2012) The human genome contains multiple copies of retrovirus genomes known as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) that have entered the germ-line at some point in evolution. This review discusses how HIV-1 infection influences the expression of HERVs.

Kang-Hoon Lee, Makoto Horiuchi, Takayuki Itoh, David G Greenhalgh, Kiho Cho Retrovirology 2011, 8:82 (12 October 2011) Application of a set of ERV mining protocols identified a MuLV-ERV locus with full coding potential on chromosome 8 (named ERVmch8). It appears that ERVmch8 shares the same genomic locus with a replication-incompetent MuLV-ERV, called Emv2.

Xiaoxing Qiu, Priscilla Swanson, Ka-Cheung Luk, Bailin Tu, Francois Villinger, Jaydip Das Gupta, Robert H Silverman, Eric A Klein, Sushil Devare, Gerald Schochetman, John Hackett Retrovirology 2010, 7:68 (17 August 2010) Three rhesus macaques were infected with XMRV to determine the dynamics of the antibody responses elicited by infection with XMRV. All macaques developed antibodies to XMRV during the second week of infection, and the predominant responses were to the envelope protein gp70, transmembrane protein p15E and capsid protein p30. In general, antibody responses to gp70 and p15E appeared early with higher titers than to p30, especially in the early period of seroconversion. Antibodies to gp70, p15E and p30 persisted to 158 days and were substantially boosted by re-infection, thus, were identified as useful serologic markers.
