TI  - Multiple sclerosis and human T-cell lymphotropic retroviruses: negative 
      serological results in 135 German patients.
PG  - 102-4
AB  - A total of 135 sera and 18 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with 
      multiple sclerosis (MS) were screened for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic 
      virus type I (HTLV-I) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by ELISA tests. None 
      of the sera or CSF reacted with HIV antigens. Only 3 out of 135 MS sera but no MS 
      CSF showed increased reactions in the ELISA test for HTLV-I. However, these 
      positive reactions were classified as non-specific by immunoprecipitation. Thus 
      no serological evidence for infection with HIV, HTLV-I, or a related retrovirus 
      was found in the MS patients.
