HTLV-1 clonality in adult T-cell leukaemia and non-malignant HTLV-1 infection
Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes a range of chronic inflammatory diseases and an aggressive malignancy of T lymphocytes known as adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL). A cardinal feature of HTLV-1 infection is the presence of expanded clones of HTLV-1-infected T cells, which may persist for decades. A high viral burden (proviral load) is associated with both the inflammatory a...

متن کاملHTLV-1 Tax and adult T-cell leukemia.
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV-1 viral transactivator/oncoprotein, Tax, activates viral transcription and usurps regulatory mechanisms that are critical for cell growth and division to facilitate viral replication. The effects that Tax exerts...
متن کاملHow does HTLV-1 cause adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL)?
A typical person infected with the retrovirus human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carries tens of thousands of clones of HTLV-1-infected T lymphocytes, each clone distinguished by a unique integration site of the provirus in the host genome. However, only 5% of infected people develop the malignant disease adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma, usually more than 50 years after becoming infecte...
