Title The characteristics of T-cell lines derived from peripheral blood of patients with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.
Citation Recent Adv. RES Res. 25:124-133(1985)
Abstract Since Miyoshi et al. reported the first establishment of T-cell line derived from a patient with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), many T-cell lines derived from patients with ATL were reported. These cell lines, especially MT-1 were played important role in the etiological study of ATL, such as detection of ATL associated antigen (ATLA) and finding Of ATL virus (ATLV). Recent studies showed that ATLV and Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) isolated from T-cell lymphoma-leukemia patients in USA are the same species and thought to cause ATL. However the relation between ATLV/HTLV-I infection and leukemogenesis of ATL has been unclear. Recently, we also established T-cell lines derived from patients with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL) and produced monoclonal antibodies to one of these cell lines. In this paper, we report the characteristics of these cell lines and the specificity of our monoclonal antibodies.
