Integration of bovine leukaemia virus DNA was investigated at all stages of infection in cattle. We report here the detection of integrated proviral DNA in the majority of antibody positive animals without lymphocytosis. In all but one case virus was integrated at a number of different sites. Hybridization analysis failed to detect proviral sequences in animals shown to be BLV antibody-negative by the Agar Gel Immunodiffusion assay. The pattern of integration in leukocytes from animals with persistent lymphocytosis was similar to that in sero-positive animals without lymphocytosis in that multiple sites of integration were evident. As reported by others only one or a few sites of integration were detected in tumours from enzootic bovine leukosis animals. Tumours from different sites in individual animals were either monoclonal or oligoclonal.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D008218 Lymphocytosis Excess of normal lymphocytes in the blood or in any effusion. Lymphocytoses
D011533 Proviruses Duplex DNA sequences in eukaryotic chromosomes, corresponding to the genome of a virus, that are transmitted from one cell generation to the next without causing lysis of the host. Proviruses are often associated with neoplastic cell transformation and are key features of retrovirus biology. Provirus
