Indirect immunofluorescence of certain human sera demonstrated an antigen in the cytoplasm of 1-5% of the cells of a T-cell line, MT-1, from a patient with adult T-cell luekemia (ATL), which is endemic in southwestern Japan. The antigen was not detected in other human lymphoid cell lines including 6 T-cell lines, 7 B-cell lines and 4 non-T non-B cell lines. The antigen did not show cross antigenicity with those of herpesviruses including Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus, herpesvirus saimiri and Marek disease virus. The proportion of antigen-bearing cells was increased by a factor of .apprxeq. 5 on culture in the presence of 5-iodo-2''-deoxyuridine. Antibodies against the antigen in MT-1 cells were found in all 44 patients with ATL examined and in 32 of 40 patients with malignant T-cell lymphomas (most had diseases similar to ATL except that leukemic cells were not found in the peripheral blood). The antibodies were also detected in 26% of the healthy adults examined from ATL-endemic areas but in only a few of those examined from ATL-non-endemic areas. On EM extracellular type C virus particles were detected in pelleted MT-1 cells cultured in the presence of 5-iodo-2%-deoxyuridine.
