Human T-lymphotropic virus-I (HTLV-I) proviral DNA was demonstrated in the leukemic cells of two newly identified cases of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) in Taiwan by the Southern blot hybridization method. Therefore, the ATL cases diagnosed clinicopathologically in Taiwan were, for the first time, documented to be definitely related to HTLV-I.
通过Southern印迹杂交法,在台湾新确诊的两例成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ATL)患者的白血病细胞中检测到了人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒I型(HTLV-I)前病毒DNA。因此,台湾地区经临床病理诊断的ATL病例首次被证实与HTLV-I明确相关。
