| Popis: | Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent for adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy / tropical spastic paraparesis. Recently we infected newborn mice by inoculating HTLV-1-producing human cells, and found that T-cells, B-cells and granulocytes were infected in vivo. To understand the mechanism of viral-cell interaction and the pathogenesis of HTLV-1 using the mouse model, it is important to clarify the cellular tropism using a cell-free HTLV-1 transmission system. We employed a highly transmissible cell-free HTLV-1 produced by a feline kidney cell line, c77, and studied the susceptibility of 9 kinds of mouse cell lines, EL4, RLm1, CTLL-2, J774.1, DA-1, Ba / F3, WEHI-3, NIH3T3 and B1, and two kinds of human cell lines, Molt-4 and Hut78. HTLV-1 proviral sequence was found by PCR in all 9 mouse cell lines as well as in 2 human cell lines and viral entry was blocked with sera from an HTLV-1 carrier and an adult T-cell leukemia patient. Unexpectedly, mouse cell lines EL4 and RLm1 and human cell lines Molt-4 and Hut78 showed similar efficiency for viral entry. These results suggest a wide distribution of HTLV-1 receptor in mouse cells. |
