摘要
Links between human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 and adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) were first suspected in 1980. Provirus integration has since been found in all ATL cells. Although the viral Tax protein is involved in the Proliferation of the infected cells during the preleukemic stage, Tax expression is not systematically detected in primary leukemic cells. Recent studies found that the viral HBZ gene was always expressed in leukemic cells, suggesting its involvement in the progression of the infected cells toward malignancy. How could this new discovery be translated into possible new avenues for the prevention or treatment of ATL?.
