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

, 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 ...

Mimicry between HTLV-I and myelinbasicprotein: No response in HTLV-I-associatedmyelopathypatients

, 1992
The reactivity to a peptide from the HTLV-I polyprotein (FKLPGLNSR) and a similar sequence from myelinbasicprotein (MBP) (FKLGGRDSR) was examined in relation to the proposal that mimicry of MBP by HTLV-I could be involved in autoimmune responses in HTLV ...

HTLV-I production based on activation of integrin/ligand signaling in HTLV-I-infected T cell lines derived from HAM/TSP patients. [PDF]

, 2008
OBJECTIVE: Activity of integrin/ligand signaling leading to activation of small GTPases might regulate the efficiency of cell-to-cell spread of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) through the virological synapse. We compared both activity of small
