Abstract
Antibodies to human T lymphotropic virus type I has been detected in s ubjects of different human ethnicities all around the world. Etiologic al relationship between the virus and human diseases has been claimed by many investigators. Amplified and sequenced region of the long term inal repeat of human T lymphotropic virus type I obtained from nucleic acid extracted from serum samples of Japanese and Brazilian patients with cancer of uterine cervix and normal Brazilian subjects, all serop ositives for the virus, showed minor genetic variations when compared to the Japanese prototype.
