From: HAM/TSP-derived HTLV-1-infected T cell lines promote morphological and functional changes in human astrocytes cell lines: possible role in the enhanced T cells recruitment into Central Nervous System

Fig. 4

Co-culture of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines with Hela cell line does not yield syncytium formation or morphological alterations. Exposure of Hela cell lines to CEM (c–d) or CIB (e–f) cell lines does not lead to syncytium formation or morphological alterations. Upper panels show unstained cells observed under optical microscopy and lower panels show Giemsa-stained cells. For Mock controls, cells were cultured with RPMI alone (a–b). Cells cultures were maintained for up to 20 h. Original magnifications: ×200
