A higher expression of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) has been associated with several malignancies, including prostate cancer, implying a possible use as a diagnostic or prognostic cancer biomarker. For this reason, we examined the humoral response against different epitopes obtained from the envelope protein of HERV-K (HERV-K env-su<sub>19-37</sub>, HERV-K env-su<sub>109-126</sub>), HERV-H (HERV-H env-su<sub>229-241</sub>, HERV-H env<sub>387-399</sub>) and HERV-W (HERV-W env-su<sub>93-1 ...[more]
