APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, and APOBEC3H Haplotype 2 Restrict Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2012 ABSTRACT The human APOBEC3 family consists of seven cytidine deaminases (A3A to A3H), some of which display potent antiretroviral activity against HIV-1 and other retroviruses. Studies that analyzed the effect of A3G on human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infectivity resulted in conflicting findings, and our knowledge of ...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 subtype b in a patient with chronic neurological disorder [PDF]
Journal of NeuroVirology, 2014 Human T-cell lymphotropic virus is a retrovirus described worldwide. There are four HTLV types: HTLV-1 to 4. Only HTLV-1 and 2 are linked to human disease. The majority of infected individuals remain asymptomatic. However, it is estimated that 5 % of HTLV-1-infected patients present a clinical neurological disorder called HTLV-1-associated myelopathy ...
