Abstract: The present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding viruses; isolated polypeptides comprising amino acid sequences of the virus; vectors comprising the viral nucleic acid sequences; cells comprising the vectors; antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof which have binding specificity for the virus; methods of detecting or screening for the virus (e.g., in an individual); methods of identifying agents that inhibit the virus; methods of inducing an immune response to the virus; methods of treating disease associated with the presence of XMRV in an individual (e.g., cancer such as prostate cancer); methods of detecting asymptomatic cancer (e.g., prostate cancer); methods of identifying an individual at risk for developing cancer (e.g., prostate cancer); and kits for detecting the virus.

Abstract: A furnace insert (10) for an enclosed fireplace is disclosed. Furnace (10) includes an outer housing (11) and an inner housing (50) which define a firebox (11A). A plurality of tubular steel ducts (45-52), inclusive, are mounted within firebox (11A) and heat air as it rises through the ducts from inlets at the bottom and out of outlets at the top. Additional heat is recovered from the furnace and, in addition, an insulating effect is created which prevents damage to the fireplace walls by a heat exchange chamber (54) which is defined by a space between inner housing (11) and outer housing (50) which has an air inlet (54A) at the bottom and an air outlet (54A) at the top.
