Absence of XMRV polymerase ( pol ) sequences in CFS patients. A. Representative nested pol PCR results using PBMC DNA specimens from persons with CFS identified after unblinding. Lanes 1 - 5, 6 - 10, and 11 - 14 are results for persons with CFS from Wichita, Georgia, and the Georgia registry studies, respectively; lanes 15 and 16, water only controls; lane 17, negative human PBMC DNA control; lanes 18 and 19, assay sensitivity controls consisting of 101 and 103 copies of XMRV VP62 plasmid DNA diluted in a background of 1 ug of human PBMC DNA, respectively. B. Semi-quantitative β-actin PCR results for PBMC DNA specimens above in lanes 1 - 14; lane 15, water control; lanes 16 - 19, 10-fold dilutions of blood donor PBMC DNA starting at 0.1 ug as a positive assay control.
