TI  - Defective human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) provirus in 10 Chilean 
      seronegative patients with tropical spastic paraparesis or HTLV-I-associated 
      myelopathy.
PG  - 1811-3
AB  - We studied the presence of tax and ltr genes from human T-cell lymphotropic virus 
      type I (HTLV-I) provirus in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 15 
      seronegative patients with tropical spastic paraparesis or HTLV-I-associated 
      myelopathy by PCR. Only a region of the tax gene from 10 patients was amplified. 
      The nucleotide homologies of six Chilean isolates to the ATK-1 clone ranged 
      between 98.7 and 99.4%.
