Breast feeding is the major route of mother-to-child transmission of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I). Our experiments with rabbits have shown that passive immunization is capable of blocking cell-to-cell infection of HTLV-I by blood transfusion or breast feeding. In this study, sera were collected serially from 3 infants born to seropositive mothers and were tested for the presence of neutralizing antibody to vesicular stomatitis virus (HTLV-I) pseudotype as well as antibodies to viral structural proteins. There was a good correlation between neutralizing and viral antibody titers, both of which were detectable until 3-6 months after birth. Whether maternally transmitted neutralizing antibody is protective against perinatal infection of HTLV-I remains to be studied.
