Nine new isolates of human T-cell leukemia-lymphoma virus (HTLV) were obtained from cells of seven patients with malignancies of mature T cells and from two clinically normal relatives of a T-cell leukemia patient. These people were from the United States, Israel, the West Indies, and Japan. The virus was detected in the fresh T cells and was isolated from the established T-cell lines. Each isolate is closely related to the first HTLV isolate, and all the new HTLV isolates were transmitted into normal human T cells obtained from the umbilical cord blood of newborns.
从7例成熟T细胞恶性肿瘤患者的细胞以及1例T细胞白血病患者的2名临床正常亲属中获得了9株新的人类T细胞白血病-淋巴瘤病毒(HTLV)分离株。这些人来自美国、以色列、西印度群岛和日本。该病毒在新鲜T细胞中被检测到,并从已建立的T细胞系中分离出来。每株分离株都与第一株HTLV分离株密切相关,并且所有新的HTLV分离株都被传播到从新生儿脐带血中获得的正常人T细胞中。
