Human spontaneous laryngeal carcinoma HEp-2 cells are chronically infected with SRV-1 virus, a variant of simian type D retrovirus.
A type D retrovirus chronically persisting in HEp-2 cells from human laryngeal carcinoma was analyzed by PCR and sequenced. This virus is most similar to SRV-1 and probably represents one of its subtypes.
