His research was done at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The identity of the first person to isolate HIV (which develops into the AIDS virus) was previously disputed among Dr. Montagnier and AmericanRobert Gallo. Eventually the two of them agreed to share credit for the discovery of the HIV virus.
Since Montagnier and his colleagues admit to not seeing particles at the 1.16g/ml band having the morphology of retrovirus, to claim the presence of a retrovirus much less a "purified virus" is totally unsubstantiated and defies belief.
In their study Montagnier and his colleagues wrote: "Electron microscopy of the infected umbilical cord lymphocytes showed characteristic immature particles with dense crescent (C-type) budding at the plasma membrane...This virus is a typical type-C RNA tumor virus".
Montagnier and his colleagues, even after a Roman effort could not find even retrovirus-like particles at this density thus, from his experience (experimental evidence), there are zero chances and NOT 999 out of 1000 that RT activity at the density of 1.15, 1.16 represents a retrovirus in their case.
