Abstract Background Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 HTLV-1 is the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia ATL whereas HTLV type 2 HTLV-2 is not associated with ATL or any other leukemia. HTLV-1 encodes the transforming gene taxi whose expression in an interleukin IL -2-dependent T-cell line CTLL-2 induces IL-2-independent growth. Results In this study we
