The existence of human retroviruses remained elusive, and often debatable, until 1979, when the first human retrovirus, HTLV-I was identified (Poiesz et al., 1981, 1982). The identification of HTLV-I served as an impetus for the identification of other retroviruses, such as HTLV-I1 and HIV (Gallo et al., 1984; Wong-Staal and Gallo, 1985) that rapidly followed. The experimental conditions required for the identification of HTLV-I illustrated the many factors that in previous experiments may have hampered success in demonstrating retroviruses in any human cancer. Thus, in the mid 1970s it was often argued that human retroviruses did not exist because they would already have been identified if they existed, and because no detectable antibody response against retrovirus components could be detected in any cancer patients. In retrospect, one may ask why all the experiments aiming at identifying human retroviruses failed. HTLV-I would hardly have been identified, if human leukemic cells could not have been propagated in many generations by the addition of interleukin-2 as growth factor, because a retrovirus emerged only after numerous in vitro passages (4&60). Such viruses had emerged in many cultures previously and had most often been identified as murine contaminants.Hodgkin’s disease has for many years been thought to involve a retrovirus in its oncogenesis (Kaplan et al., 1982). Cluster cases of Hodgkin’s disease have been reported (Clemmesen, 1981) over the years, but attempts to demonstrate a retrovirus related to this disease have all failed (Kaplan, 1980). One main obstacle has been difficulties in establishing permanent cell lines from Hodgkin’s disease cells. Only recently have several cell lines been described, including one from our own laboratory (Olsson, 1985; Olsson et al., 1984; Olsson and Behnke, 1985), and experimentation concerning the presence of retrovirus infection in such cells became possible. We have reported elsewhere on the examination of primary. cultures of Hodgkin’s disease tissues in regard to retrovirus activity and found that all such investigations were negative (Kaplan et al., 1982). We now describe the emergence of a retrovirus of unknown origin in a cloned cell line from a splenic lesion of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin’s disease. The
