The Complete Genomic Sequence of an HTLV-II Isolate from a Guahibo Indian from Venezuela
A polyclonal CD31, CD81 T-cell line, G2, was derived from the peripheral blood of a seropositive, PCR-positive, HTLV-IIB infected Guahibo Indian from Venezuela. The cell line is productively infected with HTLV-IIB. The entire HTLV-II G2 proviral DNA was sequenced via PCR using overlapping HTLV-II pr...

| Özet: | A polyclonal CD31, CD81 T-cell line, G2, was derived from the peripheral blood of a seropositive, PCR-positive, HTLV-IIB infected Guahibo Indian from Venezuela. The cell line is productively infected with HTLV-IIB. The entire HTLV-II G2 proviral DNA was sequenced via PCR using overlapping HTLV-II primer pairs. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that HTLV-II G2 is the most divergent HTLV-IIB strain identified to date. Characterization of its deduced proteins and its relationship to other members of the PTLV/BLV genus of retroviruses are discussed. |
