Attracting an international audience of over 200 participants the 2-day event combined a series of plenary talks with updates on different aspects of XMRV research addressing basic gammaretrovirus biology host response association of XMRV with chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer assay development and epidemiology. The current status of XMRV research concerns among the scientific community and suggestions for future actions are summarized in this meeting report. Introduction In 2006 Urisman et al. 1 described the identification and characterization of a novel gammaretrovirus xeno-tropic murine leukemia virus-related virus XMRV in a small number of prostate cancers. Subsequent studies of Schlaberg et al. 2 suggested that XMRV might have a broader distribution and was present in both prostate cancer patients and benign controls. XMRV is very closely related to endogenous proviruses found in inbred laboratory mice some of which cause lymphoma and other diseases in mice. Due to the lack of functional receptor Xpr1 this virus does not replicate in most inbred mice but grows well in human prostate cancer cell lines. Interest in XMRV has recently intensified following the work of Lombardi et al. 3 who detected XMRV in chronic fatigue syndrome CFS patients in clusters of cases in Nevada and Florida-South Carolina. Virus could be detected through both antibodies in serum and proviral DNA in .
