Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) make up a
unique retrovirus family. Both viruses induce chronic lymphoproliferative diseases with BLV …

After cell-to-cell transmission, HTLV-I increases its viral genome by de novo infection and
proliferation of infected cells. Proliferation of infected cells is clonal and persistent in vivo …

Human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) causes adult T cell leukemia (ATL) in 2–5% of
carriers after a long latent period. An HTLV-I encoded protein, Tax, induces proliferation and …

Definitive risk factors for the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) among
asymptomatic human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) carriers remain unclear …

Background Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL)
after a long latent period. Among accessory genes encoded by HTLV-I, the tax gene is …

Human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I) and type II (HTLV‐II) are closely related
retroviruses with similar biological properties and common modes of transmission. HTLV‐I …

The clinical entity of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) was established around 1977, and human T-
cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-I) was subsequently identified in 1980. In the 25 years …

In this study, we identified 53 aberrantly hypermethylated DNA sequences in adult T-cell
leukemia (ATL) cells using methylated CpG island amplification/representational difference …

In adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) cells, a defective human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
provirus lacking the 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR), designated type 2 defective provirus, is …

Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type 1 and 2 are retroviruses that share the same routes
of transmission as HIV-1. Since these agents are prevalent simultaneously in different parts …
