Ny studie fra Lombardi og Mikovits publisert!

ProHealth.com er det i dag lagt ut informasjon om publiseringen av en studie gjort av Dr. Mikovits og Dr. Lombardi i tidsskriftet In Vivo. Studien er publisert på nett i dag. Da jeg ikke har fått anledning til å sette meg nærmere inn i teksten, publiserer jeg abstractet/sammendraget på engelsk her akkurat nå – dette er en altfor stor nyhet til at jeg kan vente til i morgen med å si noe! 🙂

Konklusjonen i siste linje er: «Disse dataene viser, for første gang, et immunologisk mønster assosiert med XMRV/CFS»

Background: The recent identification of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) in the blood of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) establishes that a retrovirus may play a role in the pathology in this disease.

Knowledge of the immune response might lead to a better understanding of the role XMRV plays in this syndrome. Our objective was to investigate the cytokine and chemokine response in XMRV-associated CFS.

Materials and Methods: Using Luminex multi-analyte profiling technology, we measured cytokine and chemokine values in the plasma of XMRV-infected CFS patients and compared these data to those of healthy controls. Analysis was performed using the Gene Expression Pattern Analysis Suite and the Random Forest tree classification algorithm.

Results: This study identifies a signature of 10 cytokines and chemokines which correctly identifies XMRV/CFS patients with 93% specificity and 96% sensitivity.

Conclusion: These data show, for the first time, an immunological pattern associated with XMRV/CFS.

    • Hei Christina! Ja, XMRV Global Action har i alle fall hatt dette ute på sin Facebook-side siden det ble publisert. Hvordan det er med Co-Cure vet jeg ikke, jeg har mistet litt oversikten, men skal sjekke de siste nyhetsmailene om det er kommet inn der.

      Men det var kanskje ikke studien du mente, men arrangementet i Irland? Jeg skal gjøre mitt beste for at informasjonen blir spredt. 🙂
