Maternal Transmisson of HTLV‐1 Other than through Breast Milk: Discrepancy between the Polymerase Chain Reaction Positivity of Cord Blood Samples for HTLV‐1 and the Subsequent Seropositivity of Individuals

We used a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to diagnose HTLV‐1 carriers. The DNA isolated from the nuclear extract obtained from frozen whole blood was found appropriate for PCR study both qualitatively and quantitatively. The use of freshly frozen whole blood made the field work much easier, a...
