Figure 2

Transcriptional activity of HERV-K(HML-2) proviruses in different brain tissues. For each provirus, the relative cloning frequency of gag-derived cDNAs per tissue specimen that were assignable to the particular provirus are given. Only proviruses for which transcripts have been found as cDNA are included. Brain tissue specimens have been grouped in those derived from various types of brain tumors (CT: common type meningiomas; AT: atypical meningioma; AOII: meningioma grade II; GBM: glioblastoma multiforme; AIII: atypical meningioma grade III) and in those from normal, bipolar and schizophrenic patients. Specimens with previously identified stronger (strong) and weaker (w) HML-2-specific signal intensities in microarray experiments (see text) are indicated. See Additional file 1 for more details.
