HERV-K RNA titers, proteins, and RT activity in fractions from plasma samples of healthy individuals and non-HIV lymphoma patients. Plasma samples from three patients with lymphoma (large-cell lymphoma [A and B] and mantle cell lymphoma [C]) and three control individuals (healthy individuals [D and E] and a patient with pancreatitis [F]) were fractionated by density in iodixanol gradients. The density of each fraction is given on the x axis. The RT activity in each fraction, represented by the light bars, is given on the y axis in relative fluorescent units. The HERV-K (HML-2) gag and env RNA titers (lines) were assessed by real-time RT-PCR. HERV-K (HML-2) viral proteins were detected by Western blotting of protein extracts from each fraction. Cell lysates from the HERV-K (HML-2) particle-producing cell line NCCIT were used as a positive control (first lane of the Western blot in each panel). The band representing processed Env is found at 55 kDa and that corresponding to the unprocessed Env at 80 kDa.
