Role of endogenous retrovirus in control of feline leukemia virus infection and implications for cross species transmission
Endogenous retroviruses (ERV) are markers of ancient retroviral infections, though evolutionary forces have limited the capacity for ERV replication and virulence. While they are seldom considered infectious alone, they maintain the ability to interact with their exogenous retroviral (XRV) …

Retroviral envelope glycoproteins: mediators of neuropathology in nervous system development and neurodegeneration in HIV-1 infection
… many AIDS cases, and it does so even though the virus does not infect neurons. The search for the pathomechanisms by which HIV-1 causes neurologic disease has frequently focused on the possible role of the envelope glycoprotein, gpl20, as a mediator of excitotoxicity. Many animal retroviruses of …
