At 3:00 pm Eastern time on Monday, August 23, the National Institutes of

Health held a special telebriefing for the world's press to announce

publication of the long-awaited article by NIH, FDA, and Harvard Medical School

researchers Harvey Alter, et al. It reports evidence of murine leukemia

virus-related viruses (MLV) in the blood of 32 of 37 CFS patients tested. (XMRV

is one of several variants of the MLV family of retroviruses, and the

findings clearly support the WPI team's Oct 2009 paper in Science, the

researchers stated.)
