The role of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors in HTLV-1 infection

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes the debilitating neuroinflammatory disease HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in a minority of infected individuals, while the majority are lifelong asymptomatic carriers (ACs).
