For the detection of the HTLV-I provirus genomic DNA, we applied the polymerasechain-reaction (PCR) dot-blot assay system developed by Saiki et al. (14). DNA sequences coding the p24 in the gag region were chosen as targets to be amplified. We checked genomic DNAs extracted from peripheral blood lym

## Abstract Human Tβcell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLVβI) is the etiologic agent of HTLVβIβassociated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). High HTLVβI provirus load and __tax__ mRNA level have been suggested as predictors of disease progression in patients with HAM/TSP, but little i
59,426 blood donors from Guadeloupe (French West Indies) were screened for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). Of these, 195 were confirmed as being positive for HTLV-I, yielding an overall prevalence of 0.33% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-0.38]. On multiple logistic
## Objective. To clarify the involvement of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in the pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS). Methods. In HTLV-I-seropositive patients with SS, HTLV-I proviral DNA in the labial salivary glands (SG) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplificat
Human T-cell Iymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) was associated with carcinoma of the cervix in Japan in a recent study that compared hospital cases with healthy population-based controls. To test this relationship in women more alike for cervical neoplasia risk factors (including sexual behavior and
