From: Increased seroreactivity to HERV-K10 peptides in patients with HTLV myelopathy
Distribution of optical density minus background readings for the anti-HERV-K10 Pol peptide ELISA antibody assay performed at a dilution of 1:200 among the various populations. The means for VBD, LGLL, HTLVt, HTLVm, HTLVn and MS subjects were 0, 0.054, 0.037, 0.128, 0.004, 0.006, respectively. VBD vs. LGLL, p = 0.041; VBD vs. HTLVt, p = < 0.001; VBD vs. HTLVm, p = < 0.001; VBD vs. HTLVn, p = < 0.002; VBD vs. MS, p = < 0.001; HTLVm vs. HTLVn, p = < 0.001.
