Popis: Yucatan SLA D/D haplotype miniature swine are candidates as organ donors for xenotransplantation. A full-length replication-competent PERV-C provirus was characterized. The provirus was chromosomally mapped in the pig genome. In vitro , the virus showed increased infectivity compared to other functional PERV-C isolates. Data may be used for targeted knockout to generate PERV-C free founder animals.
