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.

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.

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.
