Abstract

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) immortalizes human CD4+ T lymphocytes in culture. Previous studies show that in the context of a herpesvirus saimiri vector, the sequence of the X region at the 3' end of the HTLV-1 genome is also capable of immortalizing CD4+ lymphocytes in the absence of HTLV-1 structural proteins. The X region of HTLV-1 encodes two trans-acting viral proteins, the 42-kDa Tax protein and the 27-kDa Rex protein. Infection of human cord blood cells with herpesvirus saimiri recombinants which contain HTLV-1 X region sequences defective for expression of tax, rex, or both tax and rex demonstrates that tax function is necessary and sufficient for immortalization of primary human CD4+ cord blood lymphocytes in culture in the context of the herpesvirus saimiri vector.

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.
