AN N-TERMINALLY TRUNCATED ENVELOPE PROTEIN ENCODED BY A HUMAN ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUS W LOCUS ON CHROMOSOME XQ22.3

ngetikin.com Abstract Background We previously showed that the envelope (env) sequence of a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-W locus on chromosome Xq22.3 is transcribed in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.The env open reading frame (ORF) of this locus is interrupted by a premature stop at codon 39, but otherwise harbors a long ORF for an
