Abstract excerpt
The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is capable of inducing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). However, the long latency period between infection and development of ATLL, as well as the small fraction of the infected population that actually develops this disease, suggest that additional factors are involved in its pathogenesis. Therefore, we performed a molecular analysis of 10 cases of ATLL...
