HIGHLIGHTS ON DISTINCTIVE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HTLV TAX PROTEINS.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Human T-cell Leukemia Viruses (HTLVs) are complex human retroviruses of the Deltaretrovirus genus. Four types have been identified thus far, with HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 much more prevalent than HTLV-3 or -4 .

Bovine leukemia virus tax gene/Tax protein polymorphism and its relation to Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

Virulence, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus of the Deltaretrovirus genus, which causes persistent infection in its natural hosts – cattle, zebu, and water buffalo with diverse clinical manifestations through the defeat of B-cells.

The HTLV-1 gp21 fusion peptide inhibits antigen specific T-cell activation in-vitro and in mice. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
The ability of the Lentivirus HIV-1 to inhibit T-cell activation by its gp41 fusion protein is well documented, yet limited data exists regarding other viral fusion proteins. HIV-1 utilizes membrane binding region of gp41 to inhibit T-cell receptor (TCR)

Development and optimization of human T-cell leukemia virus-specific antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay directed to the envelope protein

Journal of Virology
An estimated 10–20 million people worldwide are infected with the deltaretrovirus human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Although most infected individuals remain asymptomatic, some progress to develop the fatal and debilitating disease adult T ...

Computational analysis of envelope glycoproteins from diverse geographical isolates of bovine leukemia virus identifies highly conserved peptide motifs

Retrovirology, 2018
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus infecting bovine B cells and causing enzootic bovine leucosis. The SU or surface subunit, gp51, of its envelope glycoprotein is involved in receptor recognition and virion attachment.
