Abstract

Although the discovery of the first oncogenic retrovirus was made almost 100 years ago, considerable insights into the specific host immunity involved in anti-tumor and anti-viral responses during acute and chronic infection with oncogenic retroviruses have been achieved only in the last few decades. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is the only known human oncogenic retrovirus, yet several animal retroviruses have provided knowledge of the mechanisms by which host immunity controls retroviral spread and the sequelae, such as tumor induction; as well as viral escape mechanisms, including mutation of virus-specific antigens and virus-induced immunosuppression of B-and T-cell responses. This chapter will cover advances in the understanding of the immune responses to HTLV-1 and its associated adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), after first examining the cell- and antibody-mediated responses to the AKR/Gross, Friend, and the LP-BM5 murine retroviruses and their tumors.
