Table 1.

MCV copy numbers in MCV-positive MCC cell lines.

Cell line Absolute copy number/ng nuclear DNA Copy number per cell (N)
CVG-1 1007.6 ± 30.1 3.63 ± 0.11
MKL-1 1014.6 ± 72.6 3.65 ± 0.26
MKL-2 280.2 ± 17.0 1.01 ± 0.06
MS-1 553.6 ± 18.3 1.99 ± 0.07

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) copy number per genome was calculated based on the assumption that 100 ng of nuclear DNA from merkel cell carcinomas (MCC) cells contains 27,777 copies of single human genome (3.6 pg per haploid cell).
