Abstract excerpt
We report on the subtyping of South African primate T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (PTLV-I) strains by investigating the LTR region using sequence analysis and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques. DNA from either uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs); cult...
