Recent demonstration of human cell infection in vitro with porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) has raised safety concerns for new therapies that involve transplantation of pig cells or organs to humans. To assess better the specific risk that may be associated with the transplantation of fetal pig neuronal cells to the central nervous system of patients suffering from intractable neurologic disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and epilepsy), we have performed studies to determine whether there is evidence for in vivo or in vitro transmission of PERV from fetal pig neuronal cells to human cells.
