Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the causative agent for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). [1][2][3] Only a small proportion of HTLV-1 carriers eventually develop ATL after a long latency. 4 However, the critical events in the leukemogenic process remain unclear. In general, viral l
## Introduction Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) was isolated from a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patient by Gallo and his colleagues (Poiesz et al., 1980) and adult T-cell leukemia virus (ATLV) was isolated from patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) in Japan (Yoshida et al., 1982). Originally,
In the pathogenesis of adult T cell leukemia (ATL), an oncogenetic role of the human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) Tax protein, viral escape from the host immune system, and host genetic changes have been proposed as contributory factors. We examined the premature stop codons in tax gene
