AB The human T-cell leukemia virus type I Tax protein trans-activates
several cellular genes implicated in T-cell replication and activation.
To investigate its leukemogenic potential, Tax was targeted to the
mature T-lymphocyte compartment in transgenic mice by using the human
granzyme B promoter. These mice developed large granular lymphocytic
leukemia, demonstrating that expression of Tax in the lymphocyte
compartment is sufficient for the development of leukemia. Furthermore,
these observations suggest that human T-cell leukemia virus infection
may be involved in the development of large granular lymphocytic
leukemia.
