β¦ Synopsis
We recently published a report describing the association of a human retrovirus related to human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in Sweden and southern Florida E73. A meeting was held at The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia on July 29-30, 1986, to update recent findings on the role of retroviruses in chronic neurological diseases [lo}.

Largely through work published over the past 4 years by Gallo and coworkers, a family of retroviruses, termed human T lymphotropic viruses (HTLV), has been isolated and characterized, and their infectivity and pathogenic potential for humans has been established (1-8). There is now convincing eviden
We evaluated the presence of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (SICAM-I) antigen in the sera of patients with multiple sclerosis and human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy (HAM) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients with multiple sclerosis in the acti
