Retrovirus particles with type C morphology were found in 2 T-cell lymphoblastoid cell lines, HUT 102 and CTCL-3, and in fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from a patient with a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides). The cell lines continuously produce these viruses, which are collectively referred to as human cutaneous T-cell lymphoma virus strain CR (HTLVCR). Originally, the production of virus from HUT 102 cells required induction with 5-iodo-2''-deoxyuridine, but the cell line became a constitutive producer of virus at its 56th passage. Cell line CTCL-3 has been a constitutive producer of virus from its 2nd passage in culture. Both mature and immature extracellular virus particles were seen in thin-section EM of fixed, pelleted cellular material; on occasion, typical type C budding virus particles were seen. No form of intracellular virus particle was seen. Mature particles were 100-110 nm in diameter, consisted of an electron-dense core surrounded by an outer membrane separated by an electron-lucent region, banded at a density of 1.16 g/ml on a continuous 25-65% sucrose gradient, and contained 70S RNA and a DNA polymerase activity typical of viral reverse transcriptase (RT; RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferase). Under certain conditions of assay, HTLVCR RT showed cation preference for Mg2+ over Mn2+, distinct from the characteristics of cellular DNA polymerases purified from human lymphocytes and the RT from most type C viruses. Antibodies to cellular DNA polymerase .gamma. and antibodies against RT purified from several animal retroviruses failed to detectably interact with HTLVCR RT under conditions that were positive for the respective homologous DNA polymerase, demonstrating a lack of close relationship of HTLVCR RT to cellular DNA polymerases .gamma. or RT of these viruses. Six major proteins, with sizes of approximately 10,000, 13,000, 19,000, 24,000, 42,000 and 52,000 daltons, were apparent when doubly banded, disrupted HTLVCR particles were chromatographed on a sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel. The number of these particle-associated proteins is consistent with the expected proteins of a retrovirus, but the sizes of some are distinct from those of most known retroviruses of the primate subgroups.
