Abstract

Results from Southern hybridization and PCR amplification experiments using a randomly synthesized reverse transcription-PCR product showed that peripheral blood leukocytes from horses showing no clinical signs of disease expressed a putative latency-associated transcript antisense to and overlapping the 3' end of the equid herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) immediate-early gene (gene 64). A PCR product derived from this transcript has > or =96% identity with the published EHV-1 sequence. In situ hybridization studies of equine bronchial lymph nodes corroborated these findings and are consistent with reactivation data (D. A. Smith, A. Hamblin, and N. Edington, unpublished data), indicating that EHV-1 latency is established predominantly in CD5+/CD8+ leukocytes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Circulating T lymphocytes have been defined as a predominant site of EHV-1 latency.

    “Finally, circulating T lymphocytes have been defined as a predominant site of EHV-1 latency.”

  • Estimates that 1/50,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells are latently infected with EHV-1 must be interpreted with caution because the authors failed to demonstrate the presence of latency-associated transcripts in these cells and/or confirm the findings obtained by Chesters and colleagues.

    “However, these results must be interpreted with caution as the authors also failed to demonstrate the presence of LAT in these cells and/or confirm the findings obtained by Chesters and colleagues.”

  • Peripheral blood mononuclear cells express a putative latency-associated transcript antisense to and overlapping the 3′ end of the EHV-1 immediate-early gene ORF64.

    “Using southern hybridization and PCR techniques, Chesters and colleagues first demonstrated that PBMC express a putative LAT antisense to and overlapping the 3′ end of the EHV-1 immediate-early gene (ORF64) (Chesters et al., 1997).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
