Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus seroprevalence in selected german patients: evaluation by different test systems.

abstract：:Upon infection of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I)-carrying human T-cell lines such as MT-4, HTLV-III, a probable etiologic agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused fast and strong cytopathic effects leading ultimately to the death of the cells. Such effects were preceded by the rapid indu...
