Limiting dilution cloning of a persistently expanded CD4+ clone. Clone #60 from patient 1 was generated by limiting dilution cloning of PBMCs collected in 2003. IPCR amplification of the 3' HTLV-1 flanking sequences, molecular cloning and sequencing permitted the isolation of a 122 bp integration site that matched the AF228936 sequence previously isolated by sequencing HTLV-1 integration sites in PBMCs harvested from the same patient in 1996.
