Abstract excerpt
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I)-infected T cells expanded in vitro by single-cell cloning provide a unique system for investigating virus-cell interactions in nonimmortalized T cells. By analysis of clones generated randomly from the blood of virus carriers, we confirm that CD4 T cells are the major reservoir of HTLV-I in vivo and show that most infected cells contain a single integrated provirus....
