Guest guest Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhW95ahBAgw & feature=related Science magazine should retract Paprotka et al. - Origin of 1 HGRV variant has not been found YouTube Uploaded by HGRV100 2 sep 2011 The origin of the XMRV variant of human gammaretroviruses (HGRVs) has not been shown to be the cell line 22Rv1. The assays used were not always adequate, they were not all used to screen everything equally and they did detect XMRV in the early xenografts, so the patient the cells were taken from was infected with the virus. `````` http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj1TpOxwfYw Will Science magazine retract the XMRV origin paper Paprotka et al? YouTube Uploaded by HGRV100 10 sep 2011 The RT-PCR assay was the only assay of the 3 used to screen the later xenografts. The later xenografts were never assessed to see if they came from the same prostate cancer patient as the other xenografts and cells. The 67% found positive in Lombardi et al. and the 87% in Lo et al. was achieved with an RT-PCR assay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
