| Abstract: | 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. |
