Regulation of Expression and Latency in BLV and HTLV
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-09)
Human T-lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) belong to the Deltaretrovirus genus. HTLV-1 is the etiologic agent of the highly aggressive and currently incurable cancer adult T-cell leukemia ...
Majority of Interferon-g–Producing CD4+ Cells in Patients Infected with Human T Cell Lymphotrophic Virus Do Not Express Tax Protein
(2003)
The present study was conducted to determine whether interferon (IFN)-γ production by CD4+ cells in patients infected with human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) is associated with expression of Tax, an HTLV type 1 (HTLV-1) ...
The role of human T cell lymphotrophic virus type 1, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus coinfections in leprosy
(Brasil, 2012)
Leprosy spectrum and outcome is associated with the host immune response against Mycobacterium leprae. The role of coinfections in leprosy patients may be related to a depression of cellular immunity or amplification of ...
Atypical clinical presentation of strongyloidiasis in a patient co-infected with human t cell lymphotrophic virus type I
(2005)
Abstract. Alterations in the immunologic response induced by human T cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I)
predispose the development of disseminated strongyloidiasis. We report a case of an atypical clinical presentation ...
The frequency of CD127(low) expressing CD4(+)CD25(high) T regulatory cells is inversely correlated with human T lymphotrophic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) proviral load in HTLV-1-infection and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2008)
Background: CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T (T(Reg)) cells modulate antigen-specific T cell responses, and can suppress anti-viral immunity. In HTLV-1 infection, a selective decrease in the function of T(Reg) cell mediated ...
High HTLV-1 proviral load, a marker for HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, is also detected in patients with infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009-08)
Salvador (BA, Brazil) is an endemic area for human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). The overall prevalence of HTLV-1 infection in the general population has been estimated to be 1.76%. HTLV-1 carriers may develop ...
