## Abstract Human Tโcell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV)โcarrying cells from various origins were characterized by cell surface markers and expression of HTLV antigens. Eight cell lines named TCL were obtained by transformation of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) of healthy donors or HTLV carriers

โฆ Synopsis
Previously, we studied the surface expression of LFA-I (CDI Ia/CD18) and ICAM-I (CD54) in a panel of 16 human T-cell lines and found that those carrying HTLV-I pro-viruses expressed high levels of ICAM-I. Enhanced expression of ICAM-I was also seen in fresh leukemic cells from ATL patients. In the present study, we systematically examined the surface expression of I 9 different cell-adhesion molecules (CAMS) (the immunoglobulin superfamily, the homing receptors, the integrins, etc.) in a panel of 20 human T-cell lines (6 HTLV-Inegative lines and 14 HTLV-I -positive lines). The surface expression of LFA-3 (CD58) was constantly enhanced in HTLV-Ipositive T-cell lines except for MT-I, an ATL-derived cell line, which was devoid of a number of CAMS including ICAM-I. LFA-3 proteins and mRNA were found at strongly increased levels in HTLV-I -positive T-cell lines.

It is known that the expression levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in adult T cell leukemia(ATL) cells are high, whereas those in T-lymphoid cells are not. In order to investigate the factors that influence the induction of ICAM-1 molecules , Northern blot analysis to measure the e
