| | The 7th Retrovirus Conference |
 | | At last year's retrovirus meeting the concept of a structured (strategic) treatment interruption (STI) was presented with much fanfare and misunderstanding. | | | Moreover, the fact that these complications will occur in so many of our patients is making many physicians much more conservative in deciding when to advocate starting therapy. | | | Further information regarding "legal drug holidays" was presented and the controversy continues. |

| | The Islet Foundation - Expression of PERV by porcine endothelial cells |
| | If transmission of PERV does occur clinically, two outcomes are possible--either the retrovirus is pathogenic but is restricted to the recipient or the virus (pathogenic or not) could infect people not participating in the xenotransplantation process. | | | describing the infection of human cells by a pig endogenous retrovirus (PERV) has focused attention on the fact that careful monitoring of porcine xenotransplant recipients will be necessary. | | | The findings, say the researchers, suggest "a serious risk of retrovirus transfer after xenotransplantaion". |

| | This enables the virus to grow resistant to antiviral pharmaceuticals quickly, and impedes, for example, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV. | | | A retrovirus is a virus which has a genome consisting of two RNA molecules, which may or may not be identical. | | | The term "retro" in retrovirus refers to this reversal of the central dogma of molecular biology. |

| | Structural analysis of membrane-bound retrovirus capsid proteins |
| | Unfortunately, these approaches have proven difficult, since the virions do not crystallize, preparations do not appear homogeneous, and it is unclear whether mature or immature virus cores have helical or icosohedral symmetry, which would be a great help in image reconstruction (Choi et al., 1991; Fuller et al., 1995, 1996). | | | Ordinarily, retrovirus structure analysis might proceed by X-ray diffraction analysis of 3D crystals of virus, or by electron microscopy (EM) and image analysis of homogeneous preparations of virus particles. | | | We prefer the latter (ii) pathway, because purified HIV and M-MuLV capsid proteins form stable dimers in solution, and retrovirus Gag cross-linking studies have revealed dimers, tetramers and higher-order oligomers, but a relative lack of the trimers (Ehrlich et al., 1992; Hansen and Barklis, 1995) that would be expected from pathway (i). |
