Detection of lymphocytes expressing human T-lymphotropic virus type III in lymph nodes and peripheral blood from infected individuals by in situ hybridization.
Open accessAbstract
By using in situ hybridization methodology, we have directly examined primary lymph node and peripheral blood from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex for the presence of human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) viral RNA. Mononuclear cell preparations were hybridized with a 35S-labeled HTLV-III-specific RNA probe and exposed to autoradiographic emulsion for 2 days. HTLV-III-infected cells expressing viral RNA were detected in approximately 86% (6/7) of lymph node and 50% (7/14) of peripheral blood samples studied. However, in all patient samples examined, labeled cells were observed at very low frequency (less than 0.01% of total mononuclear cells). The HTLV-III-infected cells exhibited morphological characteristics consistent with that of lymphocytes and expressed viral RNA at relatively low abundance (20-300 copies per cell). These results demonstrate that HTLV-III expression in lymph node and peripheral blood is very low in vivo. Furthermore, the lymph node hyperplasia observed in HTLV-III-associated lymphadenopathy is not directly due to proliferation of HTLV-III-infected lymphocytes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
