>What problems have you had [doing PCR directly from cells]?
We have had good luck doing PCR from animal cells (Rat1-based lines, I
believe) with no particular problems.  Our protocol was not
particularly unique, and thus I hesitate to post it, but send me mail
if you would like me to email it to you.
>I have tried to do PCR from so called VIRAPAP samples [w/o luck]
I have no idea what VIRAPAP is.  We always started with growing cells.
