A pilot Seroepidemiologic study of HTLV in thalassemia, hemophilia, and hemodialysed patients in Hormozgan
Introduction: Transmission of blood borne infections is common among the multitransfusion patients such as Thalassemia, Hemophilia and Hemodialysis patients. Human T-Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) is one of the Retroviruses which are transmitted by blood and its products. In Iran, HTLV is endemic only in Khorasan province. In order to assess the possibility of the virus transmission and its clinic...
متن کاملHuman T-cell leukemia virus type 1 infects multiple lineage hematopoietic cells in vivo
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infects mainly CD4+CCR4+ effector/memory T cells in vivo. However, it remains unknown whether HTLV-1 preferentially infects these T cells or this virus converts infected precursor cells to specialized T cells. Expression of viral genes in vivo is critical to study viral replication and proliferation of infected cells. Therefore, we first analyzed vira...
متن کاملMaking the invisible visible: searching for human T-cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) in Brazilian patients with viral hepatitis B and C
With this study, the authors hope to alert clinicians regarding the presence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/-2) infections in patients with viral hepatitis B and C in Brazil. HTLV-1/-2 were detected in 1.3% of hepatitis B virus (HBV)- and 5.3% of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected blood samples sent for laboratory viral load measurements. A partial association of human im...
متن کاملHuman 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 ...
متن کاملIn vitro infection of human macrophages with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1.
The tropism of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) for the cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage was evaluated by the coculture of blood monocyte-derived macrophages, with irradiated cells of HTLV-1 producing cell lines MT2 or C91/PL. The susceptibility to HTLV-1 was assessed by the detection of viral DNA using the polymerase chain reaction method. HTLV-1 gene expression in the cells...
