Abstract

Introduction: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 is the retrovirus that causes T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. Its scarce diagnosis in acute phases means that finding an accurate biomarker to determine the development of leukemia is of clinical and scientific interest. Objective: To present the basic zipper protein as a diagnostic and follow-up marker for treatment of T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. Methods: Academic material was consulted in different scientific databases such as PubMed, Springerlink, Proquest and Sciencedirect. Criteria such as: data, effectiveness in the identification and amplification of basic zipper protein, recognition of the phases of the T-cell lymphotropic virus, epidemiology and molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of the virus were taken into account. Analysis and synthesis of the information: The basic zipper protein is a protein of the T-cell lymphotropic virus essential for the leukemogenesis process, capable of interacting with endogenous factors of the host, which makes it a marker of the disease. Conclusions: The Basic zipper protein has characteristics that outline it to be the biomarker with the highest prediction of the disease due to its stability and importance in leukemogenesis. In addition, the mRNA level of the basic zipper protein is higher in T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.
