Linkage of reduced receptor affinity and superinfection to pathogenesis of TR1.3 murine leukemia virus.

TR1.3 is a Friend murine leukemia virus (MLV) that induces selective syncytium induction (SI) of brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC), intracerebral hemorrhage, and death. Syncytium induction by TR1.

Cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis in association with tattoos.

Sarcoidosis encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of clinical presentations, including sarcoidosis in association with tattoos. We report the development of cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis in a patient with long-standing eyebrow tattoos whose cutaneous sarcoidosis almost completely resolved when treated with tacrolimus 0.1% ointment.

Neuropathogenic murine leukemia virus TR1.3 induces selective syncytia formation of brain capillary endothelium.

Exposure of newborn BALB/c mice to murine leukemia virus (MLV) TR1.3 induces fusion of brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC), loss of cerebral vessel integrity, hemorrhagic stroke, and death. Although TR1.
