Human T-cell leukemia virus type II transforms normal human lymphocytes.
A unique human retrovirus (human T-cell leukemia virus type II, HTLV-II), isolated from a patient with a T-cell variant of hairy-cell leukemia, has been shown to be distinct from the more common isolates of human T-cell leukemia virus. This virus was tested for its ability to transform normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The HTLV-II-infected T-cell line Mo-T was lethally x-irradiated and...
متن کاملThe Enigma of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) Infection in Iran
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) was the first human retrovirus associated with malignancy. The prevalence of HTLV-I infection varies significantly in different regions of the world. In this study, the prevalence of HTLV-I infection among ethnic Jews living in Shiraz, South of Iran, was investigated. 286 blood samples were obtained. HTLV-1 antibody assay on serum samples was d...
متن کاملTransformed T lymphocytes infected by a novel isolate of human T cell leukemia virus type II.
Human T cell leukemia virus type II (HTLV-II) has been isolated from a patient (Mo) with features of leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (LRE) and from a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We have obtained another isolate of HTLV-II from a patient (CM) with severe hemophilia A, pancytopenia, and a 14-year history of staphylococcal and candidal infections but no evidence of T cel...
متن کاملTransformed T Lymphocytes Infected by a Novel Isolate of Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type
Human T cell leukemia virus type II (HTLV-lI) has been isolated from a patient (Mo) with features of leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (IRE) and from a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We have obtained another isolate of HTLV-ll from a patient (CM) with severe hemophilia A, pancytopenia. and a 14-year history of staphylococcal and candidal infections but no evidence of T cel...
متن کاملHuman T-cell leukemia virus type 1 Tax protein transforms rat fibroblasts via two distinct pathways.
The human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax protein activates the transcription of several cellular genes. This function is thought to play a critical role in the Tax-dependent transformation step in HTLV-1 leukemogenesis. Tax activates transcription via three enhancers: the cyclic AMP response element (CRE)-like sequence, the kappaB element, and the CArG box. Their involvement in the t...
