The mouse IAPE endogenous retrovirus can infect cells through any of the five GPI-anchored Ephrin A proteins.

The IAPE (Intracisternal A-type Particles elements with an Envelope) family of murine endogenous retroelements is present at more than 200 copies in the mouse genome. We had previously identified a single copy that proved to be fully functional, i.e. which can generate viral particles budding out of...
