FIG. 2.
LTR nucleotide sequence alignment of two complete (Mnd9 and Mnd13) and two partial (Mnd15 and Mnd18) STLV-1 strains from mandrills, two other prototypes of African STLV-1 strains (STLVAG and STLVCH), two HTLV-1 subtype B strains from Pygmies (H24 and 12503), and all three partial or complete HTLV-1 subtype D LTR sequences available (H2-3, Pyg19, and CMR229), obtained with the CLUSTAL W program and minimal manual editing. Arrows indicate HTLV-1–STLV-1 subtype D-specific mutations. Dots indicate sequence identity with HTLV-1 strain ATK.
