We calculate the second and third virial coefficients of the effective sphere-sphere interaction due to polymer depletion. By utilizing the anisotropy of a typical polymer conformation, we can consider polymers that are roughly the same size as the spherical inclusions. We argue that recent experiments can confirm this anisotropy.
