---|---|---|---|---|

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) |
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).
From three HTLV-2-transformed cultures.
From 22 HTLV-2-transformed cultures.
From 24 HTLV-2-transformed cultures.
