We investigated the presence of human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) DNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets obtained from 18 patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and HTLV-2, 6 of whom also had predominantly sensory polyneuropathy (PSP). HTLV-2 DNA and RNA were found in CD8- and CD19-positive cells, and, for patients with PSP, in CD14-positive cells as well. Furthermore, the patients with PSP had higher proviral loads than those without PSP.
我们研究了从18例同时感染1型人类免疫缺陷病毒和2型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒(HTLV-2)的患者中获得的外周血单个核细胞亚群中HTLV-2 DNA的存在情况,其中6例患者还患有主要为感觉性多神经病(PSP)。在CD8阳性和CD19阳性细胞中发现了HTLV-2 DNA和RNA,对于患有PSP的患者,在CD14阳性细胞中也发现了HTLV-2 DNA和RNA。此外,患有PSP的患者的前病毒载量高于未患PSP的患者。
