## Abstract HTLVβproducing Tβcell lines induce cell fusion when cocultivated with a wide variety of indicator cells, suggesting that HTLV envelope antigens interact with the membranes of many cell types. Serum antibodies from adult Tβcell lymphomaβleukemia (ATL) patients inhibited the formation of
The present study was undertaken to determine the inhibitory effects of several preparations of oligonucleotides for their anti-HTLV-I and HTLV-II abilities. Among them, the short oligoguanylic acids (oligo Gs), as short as three to four nucleotides in length, efficiently inhibited syncytium formati
