Abstract EN
The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus associated with both proliferative and inflammatory disorders.
This virus causes a persistent infection, mainly in CD4+ T lymphocyte.
The ability to persist in the host is associated with the virus capacity to evade the immune response and to induce infected T-cell proliferation, once the HTLV-1 maintains the infection mainly by clonal expansion of infected cells.
There are several evidences that ORF-I encoded proteins, such as p12 and p8, play an important role in this context.
The present study will review the molecular mechanisms that HTLV-1 ORF-I encoded proteins have to induce dysregulation of intracellular signaling, in order to escape from immune response and to increase the infected T-cell proliferation rate.
The work will also address the impact of ORF-I mutations on the humanhost and perspectives in this study field.
