Lack of Evidence of HTLV-I Antibodies in the Finnish Population

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1989
5,287 serum samples from 2 different sources in Finland, people possibly at risk and healthy blood donors, were tested for the presence of HTLV-I antibodies. No positive cases were found. The result suggests that this virus is not endemic in Finland. 10 cases gave repeatedly a low positive value in the enzyme immune assay (EIA) test but were confirmed ...

Neutralizing antibodies against HTLV-I in HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) patients and asymptomatic carriers

Neurology, 1992
We tested serum specimens from patients with HAM/TSP and asymptomatic HTLV-I carriers from endemic areas of Japan, Jamaica, Colombia, and Chile for neutralizing antibodies against HTLV-I. The data suggest a trend for neutralizing activity to be found more frequently in the sera from HAM/TSP patients than in sera from asymptomatic carriers.

Active production of anti-human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) IgM antibody in HTLV-I-associated myelopathy

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 1991
We investigated the presence of anti-human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) IgM in sera and cerebrospinal fluid from patients with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM) by Western blot analysis. Analyses of 36 serum samples revealed that most patients (31/36; 86.1%) had anti-HTLV-I IgM, whereas only four of 23 (17.4%) HTLV-I carriers had it.

Intrathecal synthesis of IgG antibodies to HTLV-I supports an etiological role for HTLV-I in tropical spastic paraparesis

Annals of Neurology, 1988
High titers of antibody to human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) have been reported in the sera and cerebrospinal fluids of patients with tropical spastic paraparesis. By means of agarose isoelectric focusing and selective immunoblotting, we demonstrated oligoclonal bands of immunoglobulin G antibodies to HTLV-I in the serum and cerebrospinal ...

HTLV-I Antibodies Associated with Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma in Denmark

1985
The first isolation and characterization of a human retrovirus was done by Gallo and co-workers from patients with aggressive cases of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma in the United States [15, 16]. This virus, named human T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV-I) is a T cell-tropic retrovirus [8, 9], initially found sporadically among United States cases ...
