Cell surface phenotypes of HTLV-2 transformants

Phenotypea No. of cultures with indicated phenotype at LAMP/MO input cell no. of:
Total no. (%) of cultures with phenotype
10 100 1,000
CD2+ or CD3+ 2b 19c 20d 41
CD4+ 1 13 2 16 (39)
CD8+ 0 0 2 2 (5)
CD4+ and CD8+ 1 6 16 23 (56)
a

Cell lines were designated as CD4+ or CD8+ if >95% of the cells were positive for the subtype by flow cytometric analysis as described in the text. All HTLV-2-positive transformants in these experiments were B1 negative. The cell lines were phenotyped by one- or two-color fluorescence by using a FACScan (Becton-Dickinson and Co., Mountain View, Calif.) and were analyzed using the Lysys 2.0 software package. The following antibodies were used: CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, B1, KC56 (T200 Ag), and MsIgG (mouse isotypic control containing immunoglobulin subtypes G1, G2a, G2b, G3) (Coulter Immunology). 

b

From three HTLV-2-transformed cultures. 

c

From 22 HTLV-2-transformed cultures. 

d

From 24 HTLV-2-transformed cultures.
