Absence of XMRV/MuLV sequences by PCR of PBMC DNA of persons with and without CFS from the US. Representative nested polymerase (pol2) PCR results. Lanes 1 and 2 are results from persons without CFS; lanes 3 - 8, 10 and 11 are results from patients classified with severe CFS; lanes 9, and 12 - 14 are results from patients with unclassified CFS; lane 15, negative human PBMC DNA control; lanes 16 and 17, water only controls; lanes 18 and 19, assay sensitivity controls consisting of 101 and 103 copies of XMRV VP62 plasmid DNA diluted in a background of 1 μg of human PBMC DNA, respectively.
