Dr Mikovits, Lombardi et al: XMRV is unlikely to be a contaminant

DETECTION OF XENOTROPIC MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS

Mikovits; Judy A.; (Reno, NV) ; Lombardi; Vincent; (Reno, NV) ; Ruscetti; Sandra; (New Market, MD) ; Ruscetti; Francis; (New Market, MD) ; Silverman; Robert; (Beachwood, OH), June 23, 2011:

[0261] Thus, the virus detected in the CFS subjects' blood samples is unlikely to be a contaminant.
