Development of sensitive methods for detection of porcine endogenous retrovirus-C (PERV-C) in the genome of pigs

► Development od sensitive methods for detection of PERV-C. ► Five standard PCR, one nested PCR and one real time PCR. ► Avoidance of use of PERV-C positive animals for xenotransplantation. ► Avoidance of recombinations between PERV-A and PERV-C ► Screening for PERV-C negative animals. ► Detection of contaminations.
