Sequestration of TT Virus of Restricted Genotypes in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

ABSTRACT Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) harbored TT virus (TTV) of genotypes (3 and 4) different from those (1 and 2) of free virions in plasma of the same individuals. PBMC may act as a reservoir, and TTV of particular genotypes might have tropism for hematopoietic cells.
