Abstract excerpt
A 631-bp region of the long terminal repeat (LTR) of a variant of human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I), isolated from a healthy member of a remote, recently contacted group (Hagahai) in Papua New Guinea, was sequenced and compared to LTR sequences of other members of the primate T-cell lymphoma virus group (PTLV), including HTLV-I, simian T-cell lymphoma virus (STLV-I) and HTLV-II. Sequence...
