Abstract

Several isolates of human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) were transmitted to normal human T cells obtained from the umbilical cord blood of newborns. T cells from seven specimens were immortalized by infection with different HTLV isolates and their properties were compared with those of activated uninfected normal T cells grown in the presence of T-cell growth factor (TCGF) and with those of HTLV-positive neoplastic T-cell lines derived from patients with T-cell malignancies. The HTLV-infected cells generally belonged to a class of mature T cells (OKT4+ and Leu 3A+) and differed from the normal uninfected cells in that they could be propagated in culture indefinitely; possessed altered morphology, including convoluted nuclei and some bi- and multinucleated giant cells; formed large clumps in culture; demonstrated a diminished requirement for TCGF; had an increased density of TCGF receptors; often became completely independent of exogenous TCGF; and expressed HLA-DR determinants. These properties of the HTLV-infected cord blood T cells contrasted to those of uncultured cord blood T cells and of cord blood cells stimulated with mitogen and grown with TCGF but resembled the characteristics of T-cell lines established previously from patients with HTLV-associated T-cell malignancies. This in vitro system offers a unique opportunity to study the basic mechanism involved in abnormal growth and neoplastic transformation of a specific class of human T cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
