Journal ArticleDOI

3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine (BW A509U): an antiviral agent that inhibits the infectivity and cytopathic effect of human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus in vitro.

TL;DR: The antiviral effects of a thymidine analogue,3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (BW A509U), which, as a triphosphate, inhibits the reverse transcriptase of HTLV-III/LAV, and the in vitro immune functions of normal T cells remain basically intact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Release, uptake, and effects of extracellular human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Tat protein on cell growth and viral transactivation.

TL;DR: The data suggest that Tat can be released by a mechanism(s) other than cell death and that the cell growth-promoting activity and the virus-transactivating effect of extracellular Tat are mediated by different pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of a new type C retrovirus (HTLV) in primary uncultured cells of a patient with Sézary T-cell leukaemia.

TL;DR: Analysis of the proteins and nucleic acids of this retrovirus isolate indicates that it is closely related to HTLVCR, a retrov virus recently isolated and characterized from a patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) but distinct from known animal retroviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of lymphocytes expressing human T-lymphotropic virus type III in lymph nodes and peripheral blood from infected individuals by in situ hybridization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HTLV-III expression in lymph node and peripheral blood is very low in vivo and the lymph node hyperplasia observed in HT LV-III-associated lymphadenopathy is not directly due to proliferation of HTLV -III-infected lymphocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibodies that inhibit fusion of human immunodeficiency virus-infected cells bind a 24-amino acid sequence of the viral envelope, gp120.

TL;DR: The principal epitope that elicits fusion-inhibiting antibodies is located in the central portion of gp120, and a 24-amino acid peptide (RP135, amino acids 307-330) completely blocks fusion inhibition activity of both antisera and the activity of serum from a chimpanzee infected with HTLV-IIIB.
