Abstract excerpt
Five major subtypes of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) have been proposed: cosmopolitan, Japanese, West African, Central African, and Melanesian. Based on nucleotide variations specific to particular subtypes, it was possible to genotype HTLV-I rapidly by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) studies following polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this study, the restriction patterns of two LTR...
