Detection of human T-cell leukemia virus antibodies in a Japanese T-cell leukemia patient with hypercalcemia.

Abstract

A T-cell (KH-2) from a Japanese T-cell leukemia patient with hypercalcemia has been characterized and shown to be similar in its properties to Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-positive T-cell lines from T-cell leukemia patients from different parts of the world. The HTLV isolated from the Japanese T-cell leukemia patient with hypercalcemia belongs to the HTLV family and has properties similar to HTLV from T-cell leukemia patients from the United States, Israel, and the Caribbean.
