Thanks for the tip, Villagelife.

Maureen Hanson: Even though the #XMRV sequences may be wrong, there still may be a virus in these patients that we need to identify

http://twitter.com/#!/sciencecohen

Cornell's Maureen Hanson reported at #IACFS/ME conf that they found 0 PCR+ #CFS for #XMRV when they only did single round PCR

Nancy Kliimas at #CFS meeting announces XMRV results and says "I'm still going to wait to see the Lipkin study to say anything definitive."

(day old tweet and not related to the conference, but still interesting)

Coffin says #XMRV and #CFS was a 3 legged stool: Antibodies, PCR and infectious virus. He didn't say but showed that none of legs now exist

Dr. Judy Mikovits shows data that "contaminated" #XMRV samples from Lombardi et al. have virus that's not XMRV

Graham Simmons: Infectious causes probable in CFS .So its probably wise that CFS patients dont donate blood.

Mikovits: VIPdx lab will not continue to offer XMRV-testing because it haven't been shown to be reproducible in BloodWorkingGroup

Coffin: The first HIV study had large holes - worse than #XMRV study but #HIV was largely "readily reproduced" afterwards

Too bad I can't have access. I don't want to register...

I was there yesterday and I am quite anxious to see what others think of the conference.

holy chit.

 

[Daffodil]

Mikovits showed evidence that contaminated samples found by Silverman not contamo with VP62 neo gene in earlier samples at WPI

 

[Jemal]

This is pretty significant as well:

Mikovits: VIPdx lab will not continue to offer XMRV-testing because it haven't been shown to be reproducible in BloodWorkingGroup

 

[Daffodil]

no more XMRV testing at VIP LABS

 

[Daffodil]

some VIP results uncertain

Thanks for covering this, Cort! I've been looking for info from the conference all day but probably in the wrong places. There's certainly some interesting stuff going on.

Thanks again Jemal - Dr Mikovits is intrepid indeed - in fact blooming marvellous amongst the nay sayers about her.
