摘要: Human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV) has been isolated from several cases of cutaneous lymphoma in the United States1,2. Subsequently, adult (ATLV) was also Japan3–5. Since latter disease shown to be correlated ≥90% with presence high titred natural antibodies6–8 two structural proteins HTLV [p24 (ref. 9) and p19 10)], it important compare ATLV. We report here that by serology p24 nucleic acid homology, ATLV appears as closely related original isolate different isolates (from various regions world) are each other. is therefore either identical or HTLV.
