Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is etiologically associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). We cloned and sequenced host DNA adjacent to the long terminal repeats of HTLV-I from uncultured leukemic cells of 4 ATL patients. The region flanking the provirus was generally A/Trich

โฆ Synopsis
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is etiologically associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). The prototypic HTLV-I, ATK, is the only full-length provirus cloned from uncultured leukemic cells and completely sequenced prior to this study. We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of another full-length HTLV-I provirus cloned directly from leukemic cells. A premature termination codon was found in the second open reading frame (orf It) of the pX region. Our finding indicates that open reading frame II of the HTLV-I pX region is not required for outgrowth of ATL leukemic clones in vivo.
