Limited nucleotide sequences of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) provirus isolated from the first case of a Korean patient with HTLV-I associated myelopathy and tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) were analysed and compared with other isolates from different regions of the world. The sequences of the env, LTR regions (536bp, 690bp respectively) showed 98.7%, 99.3% homologies with the prototype HTLV-I, ATK-1, isolated from a Japanese Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patient. A comparison between other isolates from different geographical origins revealed that the Korean HTLV-I isolate is more closely related to Japanese isolates than to those from other geographical origins.
对从首例韩国成人T细胞白血病病毒1型(HTLV-1)相关脊髓病和热带痉挛性截瘫(HAM/TSP)患者中分离出的前病毒的有限核苷酸序列进行了分析,并与世界不同地区的其他分离株进行了比较。env、LTR区域(分别为536bp、690bp)的序列与从日本成人T细胞白血病(ATL)患者中分离出的原型HTLV-1(ATK-1)的同源性分别为98.7%、99.3%。对来自不同地理来源的其他分离株进行比较后发现,韩国HTLV-1分离株与日本分离株的关系比与其他地理来源的分离株更为密切。
