PORCINE ENDOGENOUS RETROVIRUS B

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Porcine endogenous retrovirus B

Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus B (PERV-B) is a retrovirus that can infect cells of pigs. PERV-B is important to detect in the veterinary sector as it poses a potential risk for xenotransplantation. Symptoms of PERV-B infection may include fever, fatigue, and respiratory issues. Early detection of PERV-B is crucial to prevent transmission to humans and ensure the safety of xenotransplantation procedures.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect PERV-B allows for sensitive and specific detection of the virus, enabling early identification and prevention of transmission in pigs. Timely detection of PERV-B is essential for mitigating the risk of zoonotic infections and ensuring the safety of xenotransplantation procedures, ultimately protecting human health and maintaining the viability of xenotransplantation as a medical treatment option.
