"XMRV is infective in primates and produces an immune response. The presence of XMRV in EPS and effect of semen on infectivity suggest sexual transmission. The presence of an ARE and the stimulatory effect of androgen suggests that XMRV integration into host DNA could impart androgen stimulation on cellular genes, serving as a potential oncogenic mechanism."
