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.

Chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with HTLV-II infection

The Lancet, 1992
Although human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) type I is known to cause a number of diseases, there has been no convincing evidence of pathological changes after infection with the related virus, HTLV-II. We have found an endemic focus of HTLV-II infection among members of an American Indian population in New Mexico, USA.

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 and Bacterial Infections Among Injection Drug Users

JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2000
To examine whether select bacterial infections are associated with HTLV-II infection among injection drug users, we conducted a nested case control study within an ongoing cohort study.HTLV-II status was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescent assay, and immunoblot.

Alteration of T-Cell Functions by Infection with HTLV-I or HTLV-II

Science, 1984
Two functionally different types of human T-cell clones, one with helper function and two with specific cytotoxic activity, were infected with different isolates of HTLV-I and HLTV-II. Both types of human T cells showed alterations in specific function after infection with either of the HTLV subgroups.

HTLV‐II infection associated with a chronic neurodegenerative disease: Clinical and molecular analysis

Journal of Medical Virology, 2001
AbstractHTLV II is a retrovirus endemic in some Amerindian tribes and spread worldwide with a high prevalence among intravenous drug abusers. It has three different genetic subtypes a, b, and d, defined mainly by the long terminal repeat (LTR) region. HTLV II has been associated with a neurodegenerative disease in few cases.

Seroprevalence of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection among immigrants in northern Italy

European Journal of Epidemiology, 2003
To assess the prevalence of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and 2 (HTLV-II) infection and the associated risk factors among immigrants living in Northern Italy, we surveyed 3017 open-population subjects from three geographical areas and 371 prisoners.

Type-specific antigens for serological discrimination of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection

The Lancet, 1990
55 HTLV-I (human T-cell lymphotropic virus) and 45 HTLV-II carriers, confirmed by HTLV-type specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), were distinguished by western blot assays with recombinant HTLV I or II envelope glycoproteins. Recombinant protein (RP) B1 contains aminoacids 166-201 from HTLV-I exterior glycoprotein gp46 and was reactive with HTLV-I ...

Laboratory Test Differences Associated With HTLV-I and HTLV-II Infection

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes and Human Retrovirology, 1998
Reports of laboratory abnormalities associated with HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection are inconsistent. We assessed complete blood counts and selected serum chemistry measures at enrollment in a cohort of 153 HTLV-I-seropositive, 386 HTLV-II-seropositive, and 795 HTLV-seronegative blood donors.

Absence of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection in prostitutes in the area of seville, Spain

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1991
Infection with human retroviruses other than HIV in Spain has only been reported in isolated cases in African immigrants and intravenous drug abusers infected with HTLV-I. The status of the prostitute population is unknown. The sera of 88 prostitutes in Seville were therefore tested for HIV, HTLV-I and HTLV-II, and relevant epidemiological data were ...
