Adult T-cell leukemia-derived factor (ADF), originally defined as an interleukin-2 receptor inducer, is a human thioredoxin homologue. ADF is detected in many malignant tissues and has a growth-promoting effect on transformed cells. In this study, ADF expression was examined immunohistochemically in

## Objective. To clarify the involvement of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in the pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS). Methods. In HTLV-I-seropositive patients with SS, HTLV-I proviral DNA in the labial salivary glands (SG) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplificat
Objective. To investigate whether a change in the CD95-related apoptosis of T lymphocytes might have a share in the development of the disease in patients with primary Sjo ¨gren's syndrome (SS). Methods. Two-color cytometric analysis was used to study the phenotype of freshly separated mononuclear
## Abstract Here, we report that freshly isolated unstimulated adult T‐cell leukemia (ATL) cells present high telomerase activity compared to asymptomatic carriers or normal donors. In spite of this high telomerase activity, ATL cells retained shorter telomeres compared to those of uninfected cells
