Abstract excerpt
Two tax genes cloned from a healthy HTLV-I carrier in whom the viral genome is clonally integrated into peripheral CD4+CD8+ cells showed a considerable difference in ras cooperative focus forming ability in rat embryo fibroblasts (REF). Sequence analysis revealed differences in two codons of the two genes. SH-1tax and SH-2tax. Studies using recombinants between these two tax genes showed that the deficiency in...
