| comparison of antigenic sites of the envelope glycoprotein of the iranian isolate of human t-cell leukemia virus type 1 with different subtypes of the virus. | human t-cell leukemia virus type 1 (htlv-1) is an enveloped retrovirus, which is associated with a t-cell malignancy known as adult t-cell leukemia (atl). variation in the htlv-1 envelope nucleotide sequence has been extensively documented and has been used to classify htlv-1 isolates into different subtypes. the virus occurs in at least 3 subtypes, which have been named a, b, and c. we conducted this study to compare the antigenic proprieties of the iranian isolate of htlv-1 with the homologous ... | 2006 | 16883437 |
