Geographical clustering of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection in Honduras [PDF]
Geographical clustering of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection has been identified in the nonmestizo communities in several cities along the Atlantic coast of Honduras. Of the 2,651 serum samples tested, 122 samples were repeatedly reactive for HTLV-1 antibodies in two different enzyme immunoassays and 3 were indeterminate.

Plasma proteome analysis in HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis [PDF]
Background: Human T lymphotropic virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) causes a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system known as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM) which resembles chronic spinal forms of multiple ...

Upregulation of surface feline CXCR4 expression following ectopic expression of CCR5: implications for studies of the cell tropism of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Feline CXCR4 and CCR5 were expressed in feline cells as fusion proteins with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Expression of the EGFP fusion proteins was localized to the cell membrane, and surface expression of CXCR4 was confirmed by using a ...

Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects
Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

Hairy Projections on Non Hairy Cells- A Case Report [PDF]
Adult T-Cell Leukaemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) is a mature T-cell neoplasm. It is caused by human retrovirus Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1(HTLV-1). The neoplastic cells after monoclonal integration begin to express T-cell associated antigens namely CD2,

The Prevalence of Human T-Cell lymphotropic Virus Type 1 in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns [PDF]
The prevalence of HTLV1 virus antibodies was determined in pregnant women and their neonates in Mashhad, northeast of Iran, as shown in this prospective cross-sectional study. 407 women who were hospitalized for delivery participated in this study. Venous blood sampling of pregnant women and umbilical cord of their neonates was done.

Differential utilization of CD134 as a functional receptor by diverse strains of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
The feline homologue of CD134 (fCD134) is the primary binding receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), targeting the virus preferentially to activated CD4+ helper T cells.

Adult T-Cell Leukemia-Lymphoma during Pregnancy
Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is an uncommon highly aggressive T-cell lymphoma associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. It is rarely encountered during pregnancy and is particularly challenging to treat due to its

Pathways of cell-cell transmission of HTLV-1
The deltaretroviruses human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) have long been believed to differ from retroviruses in other genera by their mode of transmission.

The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in infection with feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) leads to the development of a disease state similar to AIDS in man. Recent studies have identified the chemokine receptor CXCR4 as the major receptor for cell culture-adapted strains of FIV, suggesting ...
