A virus derived from cells of a lymphoblastoid line originating from the lymph node of a healthy African green monkey was characterized as a typical member of the foamy virus subgroup of retroviridae by its morphological, physicochemical, biological and biochemical properties (reverse transcriptase activity). Besides the usual host range of foamy viruses, the isolated strain revealed a remarkable T-lymphotropism, distinguishing it from the prototypes of foamy viruses previously isolated from African green monkeys. Two foamy virus infections are demonstrated in human contacts of the African green monkey colony, with the animal harbouring the isolate.
从一只健康非洲绿猴淋巴结来源的淋巴母细胞系细胞中分离出的一种病毒，通过其形态学、物理化学、生物学和生化特性（逆转录酶活性）被鉴定为逆转录病毒科泡沫病毒亚组的典型成员。除了泡沫病毒常见的宿主范围外，分离出的毒株还表现出显著的嗜T淋巴细胞性，这使其有别于先前从非洲绿猴中分离出的泡沫病毒原型。在非洲绿猴群落的人类接触者中证实有两例泡沫病毒感染，这些动物携带了该分离株。
