Abstract

Co-cultivation of lymphocytes from two Japanese monkeys, one of which was seropositive to adult T-cell leukemia (ATL)-associated antigens (ATLA), gave rise to a lymphoid cell line derived from the anti-ATLA negative monkey. This cell line harbors ATLA and type C virus particles identical in morphology to ATL virus.
