HTLV-II-specific antisera raised in rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide of HTLV-II envelope protein

Virchows Archiv B Cell Pathology Including Molecular Pathology, 1993
In order to discriminate HTLV-II from HTLV-I, HTLV-II-specific polyclonal antibodies against a synthetic peptide of HTLV-II envelope sequence were raised in rabbits. We immunized two adult rabbits with a KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acid sequence 171-196 of the HTLV-II envelope sequence, which is a specific region for ...

Protection of rabbits against HTLV-II infection with a synthetic peptide corresponding to HTLV-II neutralization region

Archives of Virology, 1996
Rabbit immune sera raised against synthetic peptides of the HTLV-II envelope gp46 region were examined for HTLV-II neutralization ability by HTLV-vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotype assay and syncytium inhibition assay. HTLV-II neutralization activity was detected in the sera against HTLV-II Env gp46, 80-103 but not in those to HTLV-II Env gp46,

Association of ‘(tropical) ataxic neuropathy’ with HTLV-II

Virus Research, 1993
Jamaican Neuropathy of the ataxic type (tropical ataxic neuropathy [TAN] and spastic type (tropical spastic paraparesis [TSP]) have been recognized for over a century in Jamaica. The recent association of TSP with HTLV-I (TSP/HAM) is now well established. We now present evidence for a possible association between a TAN-like illness with HTLV-II in four

Spontaneous lymphocyte proliferation in HTLV-II infection

The Lancet, 1991
We measured lymphocyte proliferation in the absence of antigenic stimulation in 45 HTLV-II infected, 9 HTLV-I infected, and 19 HTLV-I seronegative intravenous drug users (IVDU). Lymphocyte proliferation was higher in IVDUs infected with HTLV-II than in seronegative IVDUs but lower than among those infected with HTLV-I.

HTLV-II and Human Leukemia

1985
Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) is a type C retrovirus associated with some adult T-cell leukemias and lymphomas (1–3). HTLV-associated leukemia/lymphoma is endemic in southwestern Japan (adult T-cell leukemia) and parts of the Caribbean and is seen sporadically throughout the world.

HTLV-I and HTLV-II

2003
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is known as the causative agent for adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). This same virus was found to be related to another human disease, a progressive spastic paraparesis, found independently in two areas of the world, the Caribbean basin and Japan.

HTLV-II transmission to a health care worker

American Journal of Infection Control, 2006
Health care workers, mainly in emergency and forensic services, are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I and type II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) are cosmopolitan human delta retroviruses causing endemic infection in Japan, the Caribbean basin, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa, and in clusters among ...

The Epidemiology of Diseases Associated with HTLV-I and HTLV-II

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1987
Considerable progress is being made in the understanding of at least two diseases associated with HTLV-I, ATLL and TSP. While laboratory methodology has not yet permitted comparable advances in identifying diseases associated with HTLV-II, if any, it is likely that a greater understanding of this and other retroviruses will result from the increasing ...

A rapid and sensitive method of identification of HTLV‐II subtypes

Journal of Medical Virology, 1995
AbstractThere are 2 subtypes of human T‐cell lymphoma/ leukemia virus type II (HTLV‐II), A and B. HTLV‐II is increasingly associated with rare forms of lymphocytic neoplasia and a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by hyperspasticity and ataxia. We have used PCR to amplify, clone and sequence 140 bp of the pol gene from many isolates of HTLV‐IIA

Large Granular Lymphocytosis in a Patient Infected with HTLV-II

AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 1993
HTLV-II has been associated with a variety of lymphoproliferative disorders, including atypical hairy cell leukemia, chronic T cell leukemia, T prolymphocytic leukemia, and large granular lymphocytic leukemia. However, a direct or indirect role for HTLV-II in these disorders is not yet firmly established.
