Abstract excerpt
Previous reports have shown that, in certain cell types, p21(WAF-1), which plays a central role in cell proliferation, can be activated by HTLV-I Tax protein and by TPA. Tax and TPA are also known to stimulate HTLV-I gene expression. Since cell proliferation has a major impact on HTLV-I replication, it was of interest to investigate their effect on p21(WAF-1) in human T cells, which are the main target of HTLV-I...
