Multiple sclerosis and human T-cell lymphotropic retroviruses

H Koprowski et al. Nature. 1985 Nov.

Abstract

A combination of different types of data suggests that some multiple sclerosis patients respond immunologically to, and have cerebrospinal T cells containing, a retrovirus that is related to, but distinct from, the three types of human T-cell lymphotropic viruses. The role of this virus in multiple sclerosis is uncertain.
