In this issue of xenotransplantation, Scobie et al. commented on our recent production of PERVinactivated pigs using CRISPRcas9.1 Based on the data of our studies, we believe there is an unneglectable risk of pigtohuman PERV transmission. We would like to provide some remarks and share our opinions about this issue here. In a previous commentary on xenotransplantation, Joachim Denner has warned that PERV is the main microbiological risk for Received: 30 October 2017 | Accepted: 30 October 2017 DOI: 10.1111/xen.12366

Inactivation of porcine endogenous retrovirus in pigs using CRISPR-Cas9.
Xenotransplantation is a promising strategy to alleviate the shortage of organs for human transplantation. In addition to the concerns about pig-to-human immunological compatibility, the risk of cross-species transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) has impeded the clinical application of this approach. We previously demonstrated the feasibility of inactivating PERV activity in a...
متن کاملNo in vivo infection of triple immunosuppressed non-human primates after inoculation with high titers of porcine endogenous retroviruses.
UNLABELLED Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) released from pig tissue can infect selected human cells in vitro and therefore represent a safety risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues, or organs. Although PERVs infect cells of numerous species in vitro, attempts to establish reliable animal models failed until now. Absence of PERV transmission has been shown in first experim...
متن کاملPorcine Endogenous Retroviruses in Xenotransplantation—Molecular Aspects
In the context of the shortage of organs and other tissues for use in human transplantation, xenotransplantation procedures with material taken from pigs have come under increased consideration. However, there are unclear consequences of the potential transmission of porcine pathogens to humans. Of particular concern are porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). Three subtypes of PERV have been ...
متن کاملInfection barriers to successful xenotransplantation focusing on porcine endogenous retroviruses.
Xenotransplantation may be a solution to overcome the shortage of organs for the treatment of patients with organ failure, but it may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms and the development of xenozoonoses. Whereas most microorganisms may be eliminated by pathogen-free breeding of the donor animals, porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) cannot be eliminated, since th...
متن کاملCharacterization of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Clones from the NIH Miniature Pig BAC Library
Pigs have been considered as donors for xenotransplantation in the replacement of human organs and tissues. However, porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) might transmit new infectious disease to humans during xenotransplantation. To investigate PERV integration sites, 45 PERV-positive BAC clones, including 12 PERV-A, 16 PERV-B, and 17 PERV-C clones, were identified from the NIH miniature pig...
