We prepared a recombinant retroviral vector expressing the human T-lymphotropic virus type-I tax gene. Infection of WKA/H rat splenoqtes yielded T-cell lines which proliferated continuously in media supplemented with exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2) after the control cells ceased to grow. The phenotyp

## Abstract The __lck__ gene encodes a lymphocyteโspecific tyrosine protein ktnase,p56^lck^, the expression of which is almost exclusive In Tโcells. The expression of __lck__ in human Tโcell leukemia virus type I (HTLVโ1)โtransformed Tโcell lines is closely associated with interleukinโ2 (ILโ2) depe
Three aspects of the rat model of HTLV-I/II infection were investigated. (i) The efficacy of HTLV-I-transformed rat cell lines in infecting different strains of rats: WKY and Lewis HTLV-I-transformed cell lines were injected into adult WKY, Lewis and Brown Norway rats, representing syngeneic and all
