Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or with signs or symptoms that frequently precede AIDS (pre-AIDS) were grown in vitro with added T-cell growth factor and assayed for the expression and release of human T-lymphotropic retroviruses (HTLV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection, Isolation, and Continuous Production of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and Pre-AIDS
TL;DR: A cell system was developed for the reproducible detection of human T-lymphotropic retroviruses (HTLV family) from patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or with signs or symptoms that frequently precede AIDS (pre-AIDS), and it provides large amounts of virus for detailed molecular and immunological analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of mononuclear phagocytes in HTLV-III/LAV infection
Suzanne Gartner,Paul Markovits,David M. Markovitz,Mark H. Kaplan,Robert C. Gallo,Mikulas Popovic +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that mononuclear phagocytes may serve as primary targets for infection and agents for virus dissemination and that these virus-infected cells may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of human T-cell leukemia virus in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Robert C. Gallo,Prem S. Sarin,Edward P. Gelmann,Marjorie Robert-Guroff,Ersell Richardson,V. S. Kalyanaraman,Dean L. Mann,Gurdip D. Sidhu,Rosalyn E. Stahl,Susan Zolla-Pazner,Jacque Leibowitch,Mikulas Popovic +11 more
TL;DR: Whether or not HTLV-I or other retroviruses of this family with T-cell tropism cause AIDS, it is possible that patients from whom the virus can be isolated can also transmit it to others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibodies reactive with human T-lymphotropic retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the serum of patients with AIDS
TL;DR: Serum samples from 88 percent of patients with AIDS and from 79 percent of homosexual men with signs and symptoms that frequently precede AIDS, but from less than 1 percent of heterosexual subjects, have antibodies reactive against antigens of HTLV-III, and the major immune reactivity appears to be directed against p41, the presumed envelope antigen of the virus.
