Abstract excerpt
The existence of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) genotypes was investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using bovine peripheral blood leukocytes collected from different geographical areas of Japan. For this purpose a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for a 444 bp fragment of the envelope (env) gene was used because it was previously reported that this region might be responsible...
