Alignment of amino acid sequences of BLV Envelope (Env) proteins. Alignment of amino acid residues corresponding to Env proteins from a total of 16 South American BLV strains, including one sample from Peru, seven from Paraguay and eight from Bolivia, together with that of the FLK-BLV strain pBLV913. Arrows designate the putative gp51 (SU) and gp30 (TM) proteins. The leader peptide is double underlined. The conformational epitopes, F, G and H are indicated in bold and underlined. Linear epitopes, A, B, D and E are shown in italics and underlined. Amino acids involved in neutralization domains are shown in bold. The CD4+ T and CD8+ T epitopes are shown in pink and purple, respectively. GD21 is shown in blue. The cytoplasmic domain is indicated in green. Identity with the FLK-BLV strain is indicated by dots. The eight N-glycosylation sites are shown in orange box
