Two independent isolates of human leukemia virus, human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) and adult T-cell leukemia virus (ATLV), are shown to be the same by blotting analysis using gene-specific probes and restriction enzymes. Therefore, Japanese ATL virus and Caribbean HTLV type I, which are exogenous for human, have a common origin.
