✦ Synopsis

Abstract

HTLV‐producing T‐cell lines induce cell fusion when cocultivated with a wide variety of indicator cells, suggesting that HTLV envelope antigens interact with the membranes of many cell types. Serum antibodies from adult T‐cell lymphoma‐leukemia (ATL) patients inhibited the formation of syncytia, and sera from British, American and Japanese ATL patients inhibited cell fusion induced by American and Japanese HTLV isolates equally well. No serological cross‐inhibition of syncytium induction was found between HTLV and bovine leukosis virus, Moloney murine leukemia virus and simian sarcoma‐associated virus. A simple syncytium inhibition test in microtiter plates has been developed to provide a rapid screen for antibodies presumed to be specific to HTLV envelope glycoproteins.

## Abstract The retroviruses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐1/2 and human T‐cell leukemia virus (HTLV)‐I/II share modes of transmission, suggesting that efforts to monitor the current HIV‐1 epidemic in Switzerland should be complemented by assessment of HTLV‐I/II prevalence.

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is etiologically associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). We cloned and sequenced host DNA adjacent to the long terminal repeats of HTLV-I from uncultured leukemic cells of 4 ATL patients. The region flanking the provirus was generally A/Trich

HTLV-I propagated in lMR9O human diploid fibroblasts was transmitted to human myeloid leukemia HL60 cells at a low efficiency. After co-cultivation for 3 months, the viral genome was detected in 14/48 HL60 cell clones. Among the 14 HTLV-I-infected clones, 8 contained subgenomic fragments alone or in

The serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-S) were determined by radioimmunoassay in 38 patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Levels of serum DHEA and DHEA-S were also measured in 60 human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) carriers, and did not differ from those
