	First Claim: Show all 93 claims			What is claimed is: 1. A method for screening a cell or a tissue for the presence or expression of a swine or miniature swine retrovirus comprising: contacting a target nucleic acid from the cell or tissue with a second nucleic acid selected from the group of: a sequence which can specifically hybridize to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or its complement of the same length; a sequence which can specifically hybridize to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or its complement of the same length; a sequence which can specifically hybridize to tie sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, or its complement of the same length; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence which encodes a gag protein, said sense or antisense sequence being selected from the group consisting of gag-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1, gag-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:2, and gag-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:3; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence from nucleotides 2452-4839 or nucleotides 3112-4693 of SEQ ID NO:1, nucleotides 598-2169 of SEQ ID NO:2, or nucleotides 585-2156, of SEQ ID NO:3; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence which encodes a pol protein, said sense pol antisense sequence being selected from the group consisting of pol-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1, pol-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:2, and pol-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:3; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence from nucleotides 4871-8060 of SEQ ID NO:1, nucleotides 2320-4737 of SEQ ID NO:2, or nucleotides 2307-5741 of SEQ ID NO:3; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence which encodes an env protein, said sense or antisense sequence being selected from the group consisting of env-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1, env-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO-2, and env-encoding nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:3; a nucleic acid which can specifically hybridize to a sense or antisense sequence from nucleotides 2-1999 or nucleotides 86-1999 of SEQ ID NO:1, nucleotides 4738-6722 of SEQ ID NO:2, or nucleotides 5620-7533 of SEQ ID NO:3, under conditions in which hybridization can occur, hybridization being indicative of the presence or expression of an endogenous swine or miniature swine retrovirus or retroviral sequence in the cell or tissue.
