Title: Switching Sides: How Endogenous RetrovirusesProtect us from Viral Infections. Cord-id: 3u91p1c3 Document date: 2021_4_21

Snippet: Long disregarded as junk DNA or genomic dark matter, endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) turned out to represent important components of the antiviral immune response. These remnants of once-infectious retroviruses not only regulate cellular immune activation, but may even directly target invading viral pathogens. In this review, we summarize mechanisms, by which retroviral fossils protect us from viral infections. One focus will be on recent advances in the role of ERVs as regulators of antiviral ge

In this review, we summarize mechanisms, by which retroviral fossils protect us from viral infections.
