The human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I) is etiologically linked to adult T‐cell leukemia (ATL). To develop a vaccine against ATL, we constructed recombinant vaccinia viruses containing the envelope gene of HTLV‐I in the vaccinia virus hemagglutinin (HA) gene, a new site where foreign genes can be inserted. A single inoculation of the recombinant virus induced antibodies to the env proteins of HTLV‐I in rabbits and had a protective effect against HTLV‐I infection.
