A rapid and sensitive assay for proviral sequences of a human retrovirus (HTLV) in leukemic cells.
Whole cells of cellular DNA from leukemia patients were used in blot hybridization to cloned probes of a human retrovirus HTLV. The results demonstrated the facility of screening large numbers of samples of limited material for the presence of low copy number of HTLV sequences.
