Abstract excerpt
In the past few years, numerous investigators have demonstrated that human T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type I (HTLV-I) possesses a great genetic stability, and recent data indicate that viral amplification via clonal expansion of infected cells, rather than by reverse transcription, could expl...
