Infection of human T lymphotropic virus-I-specific immune T cell clones by human T lymphotropic virus-I. [PDF]
Human T lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I)-specific T cell lines were established and cloned. K5, an OKT8+ clone bearing multiple proviral integration sites, retained its HTLV-I-specific cytotoxicity and a normal dependence on interleukin 2 (IL-2), indicating that there is a finite number of transforming integration sites. R2, an OKT4+ HTLV-I-infected clone,

Differential regulation of translational stress responses by herpesvirus ubiquitin deconjugases
Translating viral mRNAs is challenging due to structural features that may slow translation or induce ribosome stalling. The viral ubiquitin deconjugases encoded by human pathogenic herpesviruses regulate the cellular response to ribosomal stress by inhibiting various branches of the Ribosomal Quality Control (RQC) and activating Ribosomal Stress ...

Perceptions of donor screening—Do I always need to tell the truth?
Abstract Background The Donor Health Assessment Questionnaire (DHQ) is fundamental to blood safety. We describe attitudes towards truthfulness among first‐time donors who tested positive for transfusion transmissible infections and those who did not.

Infective dermatitis‐like lesions as a novel skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
We describe a unique case of human T‐lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV‐1)‐associated infective dermatitis‐like lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus. This suggests that some lupus patients may have immunological abnormalities resembling to those described in ...

Effect of pulsed methylprednisolone on pain, in patients with HTLV-1-associated myelopathy [PDF]
HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is an immune mediated myelopathy caused by the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). The efficacy of treatments used for patients with HAM/TSP is uncertain.

What's new? Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy caused by human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1). The authors comprehensively analyzed the epidemiological and clinical features of ATL over a 30‐year period in French Guiana, a region with high HTLV‐1 endemicity and a multiethnic population.

Prevalence and risk factors for Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) among maintenance hemodialysis patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Infection with the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), although asymptomatic in most cases, can lead to potentially grave consequences, such as adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy / tropical spastic ...
