Zidovudine plus lamivudine in Human T-Lymphotropic Virus type-I-associated myelopathy: a randomised trial (2006)

Taylor, Graham P, Goon, Peter, Furukawa, Yoshitaka, Green, Hannah, Barfield, Anna, Mosley, Angelina, ...

Abstract Background No therapies have been proven to persistently improve the outcome of HTLV-I-associated myelopathy. Clinical benefit has been reported with zidovudine and with lamivudine in...

HLA alleles determine human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) proviral load and the risk of HTLV-I-associated myelopathy

Jeffery, Katie J. M., Usuku, Koichiro, Hall, Sarah E., Matsumoto, Wataru, Taylor, Graham P., Procter, Jeanette, ...

The risk of disease associated with persistent virus infections such as HIV-I, hepatitis B and C, and human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) is strongly determined by the virus load. However, it is...

In Vivo Selection of T-Cell Receptor Junctional Region Sequences by HLA-A2 Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Tax11-19 Peptide Complexes

Saito, Mineki, Taylor, Graham P., Saito, Akiko, Furukawa, Yoshitaka, Usuku, Koichiro, Weber, Jonathan N., ...

Using HLA-peptide tetrameric complexes, we isolated human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 Tax peptide-specific CD8+ T cells ex vivo. Antigen-specific amino acid motifs were identified in the T-cell...
