HTLV-II Infection in Florida Indians

AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 1993
A significantly increased prevalence of antibodies to human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) has been described in several native American populations in the United States and Latin America. Initial virologic studies indicate that HTLV-II is the predominant virus responsible for this antibody pattern.

HTLV-II and Human Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1988
HTLV-II is a rarely encountered human retrovirus that has been linked to atypical presentations of hairy-cell leukemia, as well as a variety of T-cell malignancies. Recently, HTLV-II prevalence has increased in the United States, particularly in populations of intravenous drug abusers.

Transmission of HTLV‐II via Blood Transfusion

Vox Sanguinis, 1990
Abstract. Transmission of HTLV‐I by transfusion is well documented in Japan, where HTLV‐I is endemic. In non endemic regions such as the United States, HTLV‐I/II infection has been transmitted by transfusion as well, but no effort to distinguish HTLV‐I from HTLV‐II infection was made in these studies.

Identification of a Recombinant HTLV-II Envelope Protein for Serological Detection of HTLV-II Carriers

AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 1991
To understand the pathogenic potential and the true extent of human T-cell leukemia virus type II (HTLV-II) infection, it is important to develop a specific HTLV-II antigen-based serological test. Plasmid pIIB was constructed and induced in Escherichia coli to express a recombinant protein (RP) containing 140 amino acids (amino acid residues 96 to 235)

Transmission of HTLV-II

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
To the Editor.— A recent article by Robert-Guroff et al 1 reported a high prevalence of antibodies specific for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) in intravenous drug users studied in New York City. Serological evidence of infection with this virus has also been reported among intravenous drug users in Britain.

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.

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,

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 ...

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.

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
