Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is caused by Human T‐cell lymphotropic/leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1), and a higher HTLV‐1 provirus load in PBMC is a risk factor for ATL development. Here, we document a significant inverse correlation between the function of HTLV‐1 Tax‐specific CTL (Tax‐CTL), as assessed by ex vivo cytokine production in response to cognate peptide, and the HTLV‐1 provirus load in PBMC in both HTLV‐1 asymptomatic carriers (AC) (Spearman rank correlation coefficient [Rs] = −0.494, P = .037, n = 18) and ATL patients (Rs = −0.774, P = .001, n = 15). There was also a significant correlation between the HTLV‐1 provirus load and the percentage of PD‐1‐positive Tax‐CTL in both HTLV‐1 AC (Rs = 0.574, P = .013) and ATL patients (Rs = 0.676, P = .006). Furthermore, the percentage of PD‐1‐positive Tax‐CTL was inversely correlated with their function in HTLV‐1 AC (Rs = −0.542, P = .020), and ATL patients (Rs = −0.639, P = .010). These findings indicate that the function of Tax‐CTL decreased as their programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) levels increased, parallel to the increased HTLV‐1 provirus load in PBMC. We propose that functional Tax‐CTL are crucial for determining the HTLV‐1 provirus load in PBMC, not only in HTLV‐1 AC, but also in ATL, and that PD‐1 expression levels are reliable markers of Tax‐CTL function. Thus, modulating the immunological equilibrium between Tax‐CTL and HTLV‐1‐infected cells to achieve dominance of functional effectors could represent an ideal strategy for controlling HTLV‐1‐associated disease.
