Pre-clinical studies indicate that efficient retrovirus-mediated gene transfer into hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells can be achieved by co-localizing retroviral particles and target ...

Koalas from a population north of the Brisbane River have evolved a unique genomic immunity to the killer retrovirus ...

Our services for retroviruses include production of viral supernatant by transient transfection as well as assay for replication competent retrovirus. Retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer has been ...

New research into how a retrovirus is spreading across populations of wild koalas in Queensland, Australia is leading to a ...

Koalas infected with the retrovirus are at a higher risk of chlamydia, which has devastated populations in Queensland and New South Wales. The virus has also been linked to lymphomas that have caused ...

The genetic switch effectively reduces the impact of the retrovirus, strengthening the immune system of the beloved but endangered marsupial, said Keith Chappell, a virologist at the University of ...

To achieve this, Gag binds to a region of the genomic RNA that, depending on the retrovirus, is about 100 to 300 nucleotides long and contains encapsidation signals. This region is therefore ...

The research team has found that a koala population in Australia has evolved a distinctive genomic immunity to a retrovirus.

A genetic breakthrough has revealed some koalas have immunity to a deadly virus, offering hope for the species’ survival.

In keeping with recent conferences, several studies of investigational agents, some of them near approval and some in the earliest phases of development, were presented. This summary focuses on ...

Genetic breakthrough reveals some koalas have immunity to a deadly retrovirus, aiding species' survival. Koalas north of Brisbane River show unique immunity, potentially protecting against infections ...
