It is thought that human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)
preferentially infects CD4+ T cells in vivo. However,
observations of high HTLV-I proviral load in patients with
HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis suggest that
HTLV-I may infect other cell types in addition to CD4+ T
cells. To identify in vivo T-cell tropisms of HTLV-I, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and intracellular protein
staining were used. A high amount of HTLV-I proviral DNA was detected
from purified CD8+ T cells by quantitative PCR (between
1.64 and 62.83 copies of HTLV-I provirus per 100 isolated
CD8+ T cells). CD8+ T cells expressed
HTLV-I-related antigens (HTLV-I Tax and p19 protein) after a short
time in cultivation. These results demonstrate that CD8+ T
cells are also infected with HTLV-I and express HTLV-I antigens at
levels that are comparable to HTLV-I-infected CD4+ cells.
Therefore, CD8+ cells are an additional viral reservoir in
vivo for HTLV-I and may contribute to the pathogenesis of
HTLV-I-mediated disorders.
