First Report of Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection in Yaks (Bos mutus) in China

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a chronic lymphosarcoma disease of cattle caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV). No information is available concerning the epidemiology of BLV infection in yaks (Bos mutus). One thousand five hundred and eighty‐four serum samples from 610 black yaks and 974 white yaks from Gansu province, northwest China, were ...

Automatic Generation of Validated Specific Epitope Sets

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Accurate measurement of B and T cell responses is a valuable tool to study autoimmunity, allergies, immunity to pathogens, and host‐pathogen interactions and assist in the design and evaluation of T cell vaccines and immunotherapies. In this context, it is desirable to elucidate a method to select validated reference sets of epitopes to allow detection

Recent Advances in BLV Research

Viruses, 2015
Different animal models have been proposed to investigate the mechanisms of Human T-lymphotropic Virus (HTLV)-induced pathogenesis: rats, transgenic and NOD-SCID/γcnull (NOG) mice, rabbits, squirrel monkeys, baboons and macaques.

Silent pressure: Unveiling spinal lymphoma in horses and its parallels to other species

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 231-234, May 2026.
Summary Though the nervous system is an uncommon location for lymphoma, the disease should remain a differential diagnosis in some cases of ataxia in equids. Diagnosis of lymphoma can be challenging, although a combination of cytology, histopathology and immunophenotyping can aid in definitive diagnosis and therefore more accurately guide treatment and

HTLV‐1‐Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis Is Not Associated with SNP rs12979860 of the IL‐28B Gene

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The present study investigated the association between the rs12979860 polymorphism in the IL‐28B gene and HTLV‐1 infection as well as the development of HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV‐1‐infected patients (26 HAM/TSP symptomatic and 53 asymptomatic) and 300 seronegative healthy controls were investigated ...

Mechanisms of leukemogenesis induced by bovine leukemia virus: prospects for novel anti-retroviral therapies in human

Retrovirology, 2007
In 1871, the observation of yellowish nodules in the enlarged spleen of a cow was considered to be the first reported case of bovine leukemia. The etiological agent of this lymphoproliferative disease, bovine leukemia virus (BLV), belongs to the ...

Bovine Leukaemia Virus: Current Epidemiological Circumstance and Future Prospective

Viruses, 2021
Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus that is closely related to human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and -2). It causes enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), which is the most important neoplastic disease in cattle. Most BLV-infected

The Role of Cytidine Deaminases on Innate Immune Responses against Human Viral Infections

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The APOBEC family of proteins comprises deaminase enzymes that edit DNA and/or RNA sequences. The APOBEC3 subgroup plays an important role on the innate immune system, acting on host defense against exogenous viruses and endogenous retroelements. The role of APOBEC3 proteins in the inhibition of viral infection was firstly described for HIV‐1. However,

Early and transient reverse transcription during primary deltaretroviral infection of sheep

Retrovirology, 2008
Background Intraindividual genetic variability plays a central role in deltaretrovirus replication and associated leukemogenesis in animals as in humans. To date, the replication of these viruses has only been investigated during the chronic phase of the
