Has any oncogene been identified in the XMRV genome that causes prostate cancer? Something equivalent to V-Src and V-RAS? I am a retired molecular oncologist (65) who used to work for the development of new anti-cancer drugs. Propolis is both anti-cancer and anti-viral... Warmest regards, I have a question.

They didn't find it in the HeLa cells (not HeLn), they said that it replicated in those cells in an in vitro assay. It remains to be determined if XMRV is found in other tissues/tumor types.

Is this yet another potential SARS zoonotic virus mutating under our noses? This begs the question of how many other viruses have crossed species. There are currently 18+ unexplained viral deaths due to unknown viruses. The researchers working on the HIV problem have many current meds that could be used to combat these problems. See protease inhibitors and nRTI's,nnRTI's nuculease and non-nuculease Reverse Transcriptease inhibitors meds, as examples. The rapid replication rate of these viruses make their mutation rate very potenially dangerous. Their potential for abuse as germ warfare should not be underestimated.

Does it have anything to do with XMRV? I am doing a project on the vaccine and am a med lab tech student. Many tx!
