Abstract
Type D retroviruses cause immunodeficiency in monkey. Earlier we have revea led genetical and serological markers of type D retroviruses in children wi th Burkitt-type lymphoma. Using PCR/Southern blotting assay we have found s equences related to MPMV in PBMC's DNA from children with Burkitt-type lymp homa and from their parents. Moreover, the data on sequencing of virus spec ific sequences from one ill child and from his mother have been presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
