Detection of Human Endogenous Retrovirus K (HERV-K) transcripts in human prostate cancer cell lines

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are transcribed in many cancers including prostate cancer. HERV-K of the HML2 subtype is the most recently integrated and most intact retrovirus in the human genome, with many of the viral genomes encoding full-or partial-length viral proteins. To assess trans...
