Abstract
The invention relates to the use of oligonucleotides from the nucleotide sequences coding for the amino-terminal region of the surface component (SU) of envelope proteins of PTLV viruses in order to perform methods of detecting every PTLV strain or PTLV-related viruses, e.g. for the detection of novel PTLV variants or viruses comprising sequences related to PTLV SUs. The invention also relates to primer pairs which are used to perform said detection methods and the novel PTLV variants thus detected.
