Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was originally discovered in the early 1980s. It is the first retrovirus to be unambiguously linked causally to a human cancer. HTLV-1 currently infects approximately 20 million people worldwide. In this chapter, we review progress made over the last 30 years in our understanding of HTLV-1 infection, replication, gene expression, and cellular transformation.
人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒1型(HTLV-1)最初于20世纪80年代初被发现。它是第一种被明确证实与人类癌症有因果关系的逆转录病毒。目前,HTLV-1在全球感染了约2000万人。在本章中,我们回顾了过去30年来我们对HTLV-1感染、复制、基因表达和细胞转化的认识所取得的进展。
