title: Comparison of DNA sequences of the long terminal repeat of human T lymphotropic virus type I in Japanese and Brazilian Amazonian samples.
abstract: Antibodies to human T lymphotropic virus type I has been detected in subjects of different human ethnicities all around the world. Etiological relationship between the virus and human diseases has been claimed by many investigators. Amplified and sequenced region of the long terminal repeat of human T lymphotropic virus type I obtained from nucleic acid extracted from serum samples of Japanese and Brazilian patients with cancer of uterine cervix and normal Brazilian subjects, all seropositives for the virus, showed minor genetic variations when compared to the Japanese prototype.
