Alternative explanation 1
XMRV is a virus which occurs in
monoclonal antibody preparations, and
certain cell lines
Evidence:
For: The cell culture virus, 22rv1, is highly similar
to XMRV Vp62. The same gag-env recombination
occurs in both.
Against:
-How to explain the FISH results of Silverman et al?
- How did a 22rv1 retrovirus get intto Mikovits´cell cultures?
- Mikovits reports concordance of PCR, virus isolation
and serology?
Alternative explanation 2
XMRV/HMRV are endogenous retroviruses of mice.
A slight mouse DNA contamination could explain some PCR results,
especially those of Lo and Alter
Evidence:
For:
-Amplification from mouse DNA with Lo/Alter primers gives similar
HMRV sequences as Lo and Alter from ME patients (our resullts)..
Against:
-How did mouse DNA get into ME (and prostate cancer?) samples?
-Mouse DNA does not grow
-Why did this happen ten times more often in ME
samples than in controls?
This is a difficult
scientific
and
analytical
situation
The HRV5 story
At the end of the 1990ies,
Robin Weiss´group published several papers on
a novel retrovirus in some of rheumatoid arthritis,
systemic lupus and lymphoma patients.
They called in human retrovirus 5 (HRV5)
My group also found it in a few cases, in low copy number
1 blood donor
1 SLE
2 NHL
1 RA
My group also found it in a few cases, in low copy number
1 blood donor
1 SLE
2 NHL
1 RA
Then RW published that it was a rabbit endogenous retrovirus
present in 700 copies/ rabbit genome.
My group also found it in a few cases, in low copy number
1 blood donor
1 SLE
2 NHL
1 RA
Then RW published that it was a rabbit endogenous retrovirus
present in 700 copies/ rabbit genome.
Where did the rabbit DNA come from?
My group also found it in a few cases, in low copy number

1 RA
Then RW published that it was a rabbit endogenous retrovirus
(RERV-H) present in 700 copies/ rabbit genome.
Where did the rabbit DNA come from?
Rabbit serum contains much RERV-H DNA.
Why did we see it selectively in patient samples?

Possible sources of contamination:
mouse DNA (HMRV): microtome?
monoclonals (XMRV - 22rv1)
cell cultures (XMRV - 22rv1)
reverse transcriptases (MLV)
Conclusions
Different kinds of contamination
are known or just implicated
The possibility of a ”stealth” infection
should be considered
There may remain a ”core” of
true XMRV/HMRV infections
Consequences for blood donation:
There are no tests for
mass testing of blood donations for XMRV/HMRV,
neither nucleic acid nor antibody based.
Simplest is to exclude people with
ME/CFS diagnosis from blood donation
