WB analysis of CMIA reactive blood donor samples. A1, p15E CMIA reactive blood donor, A2, gp70 CMIA reactive blood donors and A3 p30 CMIA reactive blood donors were analyzed by WB with native XMRV viral proteins (4 μg/strip). A4, gp70 CMIA reactive blood donors were analyzed by WB with mammalian expressed recombinant gp70 WB. Primate bleed (RIl-10) and anti-MuLV pAb were used as positive controls.
