Sequence alignment of XMRV LTR from 7 prostate cancer patients. The gag leader primer set XMRV-R-I/XMRV-F-O bind either side of the XMRV specific deletion. Sequences were aligned against VP62 [Genbank:EF185282], MLV-releated virus CFS isolate CSF-type1 ([Genbank:HM630562], as described in Lo [17]) and mouse strain 129X1/SvJ [Genbank AAHY01591888.1]. The alignment was conducted with clustalW using BioEdit v7.0.5.3. Binding sites of primers XRMV-R-I and XMRV-F-O are shown. The asterisk shows the location of the A > G mutation.
