HTLV-1 and Co-infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus that causes lifelong T-cell infection in humans, impacting the host immune response. This virus causes a range of clinical manifestations, from inflammatory conditions, including neuronal damage (

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

open access: yesXenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Infection in a Patient with Arthritis in Mozambique: Molecular Characterization of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Isolate [PDF]

open access: yesAIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 2011
Editor: Last year, we published the results from a cross-sectional survey on the prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) in individuals from public health centers in Mozambique.1 Briefly, we observed an overall HTLV-1/2 prevalence of 2.3% (2.9% in female and 1.1% in male subjects) that increased with age, and a regional ...

Implementation of nationwide screening of pregnant women for HTLV-1 infection in Japan: analysis of a repeated cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2020
Background Screening of pregnant women carrying human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has a crucial role in reducing the number of HTLV-1 carriers. A national HTLV-1 screening program for pregnant women was started in 2011 in Japan.

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 protein Tax reduces histone levels

open access: yesRetrovirology, 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.

Structural basis for the inhibition of HTLV-1 integration inferred from cryo-EM deltaretroviral intasome structures

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is an oncogenic deltaretrovirus. Here the authors provide structural characterization of the binding mechanism of novel integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) candidates to limit HTLV-1 infection.
