β¦ Synopsis
Infection of human and rabbit cells with cell-free HTLV-I was studied by PCR analysis. Both human and rabbit PBL were infected similarly by cellfree virus of both human and rabbit cell origin. Cells were infected with the cell-free virus without prior treatment and regardless of the concentration of the culture supernatant containing the virus. Human and rabbit cell lines were also infected similarly by the cell-free virus, the proviral DNA persisting for more than two months. The culture supernatants of HTLV-I-producing cells could thus be a potential cause of laboratory infections.

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection in humans causes a chronic infection of CD4 + T cells, and is associated with various disease outcomes, among them with the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). The T-cell dynamics after HTLV-I infection can be described in a mathemati
Tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM), is characterized by infiltration of human T cell leukaemia virus type-I (HTLV-I)-infected T-cells, anti-HTLV-I cytotoxic T cells and macrophages into the patients' cerebrospinal fluid and by intrathecally formed anti-HTLV-I antibod

This study was designed to determine whether retrovirus infection alters basal concentrations of intracellular free calcium, the magnitude of intracellular free calcium change upon receptor-mediated cell-stimulation, and cell membrane polarization. Two retrovirus-infected cell lines were utilized: H
Lymph nodes from the incipient or early neoplastic phase of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) histologically resemble Hodgkin's disease. Integrated proviral human Tlymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been demonstrated in such lesions. We studied 18 patients with this disease, and about half
