Anti-HTLV antibody profiling reveals an antibody signature for HTLV-I-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2008
Background HTLV-I is the causal agent of adult T cell leukemia (ATLL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Biomarkers are needed to diagnose and/or predict patients who are at risk for HAM/TSP or ATLL.

HLA alleles determine human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) proviral load and the risk of HTLV-I-associated myelopathy [PDF]

, 1999
The risk of disease associated with persistent virus infections such as HIV-I, hepatitis B and C, and human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) is strongly determined by the virus load.

No genetic evidence for involvement of Deltaretroviruses in adult patients with precursor and mature T-cell neoplasms [PDF]

, 2007
Background The Deltaretrovirus genus comprises viruses that infect humans (HTLV), various simian species (STLV) and cattle (BLV). HTLV-I is the main causative agent in adult T-cell leukemia in endemic areas and some of the simian T-cell lymphotropic ...

HTLV‐I Uveitis: A Distinct Clinical Entity Caused by HTLV‐I [PDF]

Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, 1992
Seroepidemiological, clinical and virological studies were carried out in an HTLV‐I endemic area to find out if HTLV‐I caused an intraocular inflammatory disorder, uveitis. The seroprevalence in patients with uveitis without defined etiologies (62/175, 35.4%) was significantly higher than that in patients with non‐uveitic ocular diseases (42/261, 16.1%)

Cholesterol dependence of HTLV-I infection [PDF]

, 2005
Cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains are important for entry of many viruses, including retro-viruses. Depletion of cholesterol with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inhibits entry of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) and HTLV-I envelope
