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

Adult T-cell leukernidlymphoma (ATL), a malignancy of mature CDCpositive lymphocytes, has been etiologically linked to the human retrovirus HTLV-I. Although a long latent period is suggested from migrant studies, little prospective information on the risk of developing ATL among persons with HTLV-I
## Abstract Leukemic cells of adult Tβcell leukemia (ATL) patients contain human Tβcell leukemia virus type I (HTLVβI) genomes. However, viral antigens (HTLVβA) are not usually expressed __in vivo__. It has been shown that HTLVβI antigens are spontaneously induced after culture of peripheral blood
