Abstract

Co-cultivation of rabbit lymphocytes with a human cell line carrying adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) virus (ATLV) resulted in the establishment of an ATLV-producer rabbit cell line. This cell line expressed ATL-associated antigens and reacted with antisera to the structural proteins of human T-cell leukemia virus which is identical or closely related to ATLV.
