## Abstract HTLV‐I‐associated adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I)‐negative peripheral T‐cell lymphomas carry poor prognosis mainly because of acquired resistance to chemotherapy. We have shown that this disease is responsive to the combination of
We investigated the possible involvement of HTLV-1 Tax in the transcriptional activation of p21/Waf1/Cip1 (hereafter p21), a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and cell growth. Tax transfection resulted in enhanced expression of p21 protein in T and fibroblastoid cells. Similarly, Tax-expr
