Subsequent Selfprocessing of Bovine Leukemia Virus Proteinase in Vitro

  • Chapter
Aspartic Proteinases

Abstract

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a B-cell lymphotropic retrovirus closely related to human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV-1 and -2)1 BLV can naturally infect cattle in which it induces a disease complex termed enzootic bovine leukosis. Experimental infection of rabbits, however, causes severe depression in. immune function.2 Although BLV and HTLV are grouped with C-type oncoviruses, during assembly they can be barely distinguished from lentiviruses, forming thus a specific group.3
