The Relevance of HTLV-1-associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis in Iran: A Review Study [PDF]
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus, which is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP).

Alpha interferon restricts human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 De Novo infection through PKR activation [PDF]
International audienceType I interferon (IFN-I) inhibits the replication of different viruses. However, the effect of IFN-I on the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) viral cycle is controversial.

Inhibitors of Tax1‐PDZ Interactions Block HTLV‐1 Viral Transmission by Changing EV Composition
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to facilitate infection by enveloped RNA viruses including the Human T‐cell leukemia virus type‐1 (HTLV‐1). HTLV‐1‐encoded proteins, like the transactivator and oncoprotein Tax‐1, are loaded into EVs but their precise impact on EV cargos is not yet known.

Abstract Viral infections are associated with the disruption of oxidative stress and the progression of inflammatory mechanisms that play pivotal roles in cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, several inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were examined in HTLV‐1‐infected male BALB/c mice.

We analyzed and evaluated cells infected with human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 at different stages of infection in terms of gene expression and chromatin structure using ATAC sequencing and RNA sequencing. Our results revealed that infected cells exhibited significant changes in gene expression patterns from the polyclonal stage and before adult T ...

HTLV-1 antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid in tropical spastic paraparesis in Brazil
HTLV-l antibodies were investigated in serum and in CSF of 150 patients with neurologic disorders mainly myelopathies. The patients were considered into three groups according to the possible relationship of their disease to the presence of HTLV-l ...
