Abstract

Since the discovery of human T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type I (HTLV-I) [5], the immune status of HTLV-I- infected hosts, including patients with adult T cell leukemia (ATL), has not yet been sufficiently investigated [2–4]. As the first step in this kind of study, we have studied the nonspecific activity of peripheral mononuclear cells (PMNC) from ATL patients and seropositive HTLV-I carriers and therole of HTLV-I p19 antigen and HTLV-I-producing cell surface antigens in the host immune responses to HTLV-I.
