Human T-Lymphotropic Virus-1 Visualized at the Virological Synapse by Electron Tomography

PLoS ONE, 2008
Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is transmitted directly between cells via an organized cell-cell contact called a virological synapse (VS) [1], [2]. The VS has been studied by light microscopy, but the ultrastructure of the VS and the nature of the

Loss of correlation between HIV viral load and CD4+ T-cell counts in HIV/HTLV-1 co-infection in treatment naive Mozambican patients [PDF]

, 2009
Seven hundred and four HIV-1/2-positive, antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve patients were screened for HTLV-1 infection. Antibodies to HTLV-1 were found in 32/704 (4.5%) of the patients.

High prevalence of bronchiectasis is linked to HTLV-1-associated inflammatory disease. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), a retrovirus, is the causative agent of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

Type I Interferon at the Interface of Antiviral Immunity and Immune Regulation: The Curious Case of HIV-1. [PDF]

, 2013
Type I interferon (IFN-I) play a critical role in the innate immune response against viral infections. They actively participate in antiviral immunity by inducing molecular mechanisms of viral restriction and by limiting the spread of the infection, but ...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 protein Tax reduces histone levels

Retrovirology, 2008
Background Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) is an oncogenic retrovirus that causes adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). The virally encoded Tax protein is thought to be necessary and sufficient for T-cell leukemogenesis.

COVID‐19 in a human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type‐1 carrier

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
This is the first report of COVID‐19 in a human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type‐1 (HTLV‐1) carrier. HTLV‐1 infection can cause immune dysfunction even in asymptomatic carriers.

Diagnostic utility and pitfalls of human T-lymphotropic virus serology in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma: evidence from a 25-year pathology-based nonendemic cohort. [PDF]

J Pathol Clin Res
Abstract Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a distinct type of peripheral T‐cell lymphoma (PTCL) driven by human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐1)–infected T cells, but diagnosis can be confounded by histological overlap with non‐ATLL PTCL. While molecular testing is the diagnostic gold standard in endemic areas, HTLV‐1/2 serology is often ...
