Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) Oncogenesis: Molecular Aspects of Virus and Host Interactions in Pathogenesis of Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATL)

    The study of tumor viruses paves the way for understanding the mechanisms of virus pathogenesis, including those involved in establishing infection and dissemination in the host tumor affecting immune-compromised patients. The processes ranging from viral infection to progressing malignancy are slow and usually insufficient for establishment of transformed cells that develop cancer in only ...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma outside Japan and the Caribbean Basin.

Ninety-six patients with the diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) were identified in countries outside Japan and the Caribbean Basin. Seventy-four of these patients were initially diagnosed in the United States; 25 of 52 patients whose places of birth were known had been born in the United States. The detection of 14 patients born in the southeastern United States, all black, indi...

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma not associated with human T-cell leukemia virus type I.

We describe five patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) with neither integration of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) into their leukemia cells nor anti-HTLV-I antibody in their sera. These findings indicate that HTLV-I may not have been involved in leukemogenesis in these patients. The clinicohematological, cytopathological, and immunological features of HTLV-I-negative A...
