Received July 26, 1983. Accepted August 12, 1983.

cDNA synthesized on the bovine leukemia virus RNA template has been cloned in the pBR322 Pst I site. Colony hybridization with BLV RNA fragments and oligo(dT) has revealed a clone with cDNA insert containing 660 3'-terminal nucleoti-des of the BLV genome. The nucleotide sequence of the insert corresponding to U3 and R regions of the long terminal repeats (LTR) of viral genome has been determined. BLV U3, like U3 of other retroviruses, presumably contains promoter. The unusually long R region (about 230 bp), a certain homology with ATLV U3-R and some other structural features allow to group BLV LTR together with ATLV LTR in a separate class of retroviral LTR.
