Main Article

Figure 2

Partial sequences of 5 genome regions of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) DNA isolated from human breast tissue samples: A) long terminal repeat; B) group-specific antigen; C) envelope; D) trans-activating gene of the X region; E) polymerase. Reference (Ref) sequences (GenBank accession no. EF600696) are shown; dots indicate where samples have no difference from the reference sequence. Fetal lamb kidney (FLK) is shown as positive control cell line. Human samples are listed by sample number. Sequences
