FIG. 1.
Schematic of the HTLV-1 LTR and relative positions of oligonucleotides used for LMPCR. +1 signifies the start site of transcription. Relative positions of the HTLV-1-specific oligonucleotides used in LMPCR (see Materials and Methods for details) are also shown. Oligonucleotides ending in -S were used to analyze the lower strand, while those ending in -AS were used to analyze the upper strand.
