Induction of galectin-1 expression by HTLV-I Tax and its impact on HTLV-I infectivity

BACKGROUND: Cell-free Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type I (HTLV-I) virions are poorly infectious and cell-to-cell contact is often required to achieve infection. Other factors might thus importantly contribute in increasing infection by HTLV-I. Galectin-1 is a galactoside-binding lectin which is secr...
