The human T cell leukemia lymphoma virus (HTLV-I) has been recently associated to neurological disorders. In order to investigate the interaction between this virus and the central nervous system, cells of neuroectodermic origin have been exposed to HTLV-I through an experimental in vitro model. The results revealed the presence of HTLV-I virus core protein p19 inside glial cells, after a short time exposure to a chronically infected donor cell line. This suggests a possible role of a lymphotropic retrovirus in neurological diseases.
人类T细胞白血病淋巴瘤病毒(HTLV-I)最近被认为与神经系统疾病有关。为了研究这种病毒与中枢神经系统之间的相互作用,通过实验性体外模型将神经外胚层来源的细胞暴露于HTLV-I。结果显示,在短时间暴露于慢性感染的供体细胞系后,神经胶质细胞内存在HTLV-I病毒核心蛋白p19。这表明嗜淋巴细胞逆转录病毒在神经疾病中可能发挥作用。
