    Author: Watanabe T, Iwasaki Y, Tashiro K, Yoshida M.
    Journal: Jpn J Cancer Res; 1989 Nov; 80(11):1017-20. PubMed ID: 2514161.
    Abstract:
    To test possible association of human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) with multiple sclerosis (MS), polymerase chain reaction was applied to detect HTLV-1 DNA integrated into peripheral blood mononuclear cell DNA. Nine Japanese MS patients all gave a negative result, indicating no HTLV-1 infection in these MS patients.
