The study of retroviral sequences in human leukaemia

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Retroviruses have been closely associated with cancer and leukaemia since their first discovery in the beginning of the 20th century. Many retroviruses both endogenous and exogenous have a direct causal role in leukaemia in many animal species. However in humans the only retrovirus that has been shown to cause leukaemia to date is HTLV-I with ATL. ATL generally affects those people within HTLV-I endemic areas in p...
