aGenomic DNA was isolated from rabbit PBMCs and subjected to standard PCR (40 cycles) using HTLV-2 specific primers (TRE-pH6-S/TRE-pH6-AS). -, no amplified PCR fragment; +, amplified PCR fragment. bNumbers in parentheses at wk 11 denote copy number per 1000 cells of rabbit PBMC as determined by real-time RT PCR. Copy numbers in rabbits inoculated with 729.HTLV-2Δp28 at wk 11 were significantly different than 729.HTLV-2 as determined by ANOVA followed by Turkey's test (p<0.00032) |
