Abstract excerpt
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is associated with a large spectrum of clinical manifestations in man. Viral and host factors are probably involved in determining the consequences of infection. Although most of the genome of HTLV-I appears remarkably stable, considerable variation is observed in the long terminal repeat (LTR) which harbors the promoter region. So far, no correlation between specific...
