Quantification of T cell clonality in human T cell leukaemia virus type-1 carriers can detect the development of adult T cell leukaemia early

Abstract Adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) arises from clonally expanded T cells that are infected with human T cell leukaemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1). Here, we show that ATL can be detected early in HTLV-1-carriers through quantification of T-cell receptor (TCR)Vβ subunit diversity on T-cells inf...
