Human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV) are closely associated with some human T-cell leukemias and lymphomas. A unique 3' region of the HTLV genome is believed to be involved in HTLV-induced cellular transformation, although the function of this region has yet to be determined. A subgenomic messenger RNA transcribed from this region of HTLV has now been characterized. These results provide direct evidence for the expression of a novel gene in HTLV.
人类T细胞白血病病毒(HTLV)与某些人类T细胞白血病和淋巴瘤密切相关。尽管HTLV基因组独特的3'区域的功能尚未确定,但据信它参与了HTLV诱导的细胞转化。现在已经对从HTLV这个区域转录的亚基因组信使RNA进行了表征。这些结果为HTLV中一个新基因的表达提供了直接证据。
