  1. − BLV negative serum; + BLV positive serum
  2. aFour BLV-negative Japanese Black calves (6–8-months-old) were experimentally challenged intravenously with white blood cells containing a proviral load of 4 × 107 proviral copies, as determined by CoCoMo-qPCR-2 assay
  3. b BoLA-DRB3 alleles were genotyped by PCR-SBT method and are according to the BoLA nomenclature committee of the Immune Polymorphism Database (IPD)-MHC database. Both alleles, A and B, for each experimental animal was shown
  4. cWhite blood cells (WBCs) were measured at a single time point in all calves during the experiment
  5. dPeripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were measured at a single time point in all calves during the experiment
  6. eProviral load (expressed as the number of copies of provirus per 105 peripheral blood mononuclear cells) was evaluated using CoCoMo-qPCR-2 assay
  7. fELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) to detect anti-BLV antibodies was performed using the BLV ELISA kit
