| medicine | Setdb1 has a constant role in endogenous retrovirus silencing. Distinctive sets of endogenous retroviruses are reactivated in different types of Setdb1-deficient somatic cells, including the VL30-class of endogenous retroviruses in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. A viral defense response is induced in immortalized Setdb1 knock-out embryonic fibroblasts | Mus musculus |
