Structure and function of the genome of HTLV.

摘要: We are still in the early stages of discovery full range biological activity a newly discovered and most interesting family human pathogens, T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLVs). This chapter is intended as rough roadmap salient features viral genome. overview based large measure on sequence one strain HTLV that was obtained from lymphocytes patient with adult Japan. Information also drawn protein analysis DNA several other strains isolated patients (ATLL) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) our own laboratory. Similarities to retroviruses noted. The limits present knowledge will be outlined.
