Figure 2

Comparison between average ERV3 cycle threshold (Ct) values in respiratory virus positive (dark bars) versus negative (light bars) samples. In ERV3-positive samples, the average ERV3-Ct values (32.8) in samples positive for any virus was significantly lower than the average ERV3-Ct values (35.4) in samples negative for all viruses (difference = 2.6, 95% confidence interval 2.3-2.9).
