ABSTRACT Introduction Neutrophil‐extracellular traps are net‐like material released by triggered neutrophils and composed of decondensed chromatin linked to nuclear proteins. Elastase, one of the fourth most represented neutrophil‐specific serine proteases stored in azurophil granules of naïve neutrophils, exerts various actions, including degradation ...

ABSTRACT Directly acting antivirals (DAAs) revolutionised hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, offering higher cure rates. We aimed to quantify life expectancy (LE) differences between treated and untreated individuals diagnosed with HCV and assess the contributions of age and causes of death to these differences.

HTLV-I/II and blood donors: determinants associated with seropositivity in a low risk population
OBJECTIVE: Blood donors in Brazil have been routinely screened for HTLV-I/II since 1993. A study was performed to estimate the prevalence of HTLV-I/II infection in a low risk population and to better understand determinants associated with seropositivity.

Assessment of HTLV-I proviral load, HIV viral load and CD4 T cell count in infected subjects; with an emphasis on viral replication in co-infection [PDF]
Objective(s): HTLV-I and HIV virus quantification is an important marker for assessment of virus activities. Since there is a direct relationship between the number of virus and disease progression, HTLV- I and HIV co-infection might have an influence on

The roles of acquired and innate immunity in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-mediated diseases
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis in small subsets of HTLV-1-carriers.
