Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation of the Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) appears to be limited in vitro and during the latent phase of the disease. However, cells in tumors often harbor deleted proviruses that are defective for expression. In order to gain insight into the involvement of viral genetic variation duri...
