a

PBMCs obtained from healthy donors (HD) and acute-type ATL patients were stained with appropriate MAbs (see Materials and Methods). After staining, the cells were analyzed by laser flow cytometry.

b

WBC, white blood cell count.

c

Mean ± standard deviation values for healthy donors were 4.9 ± 2.8 for CD3+ CD70+ cells, 3.2 ± 1.5 for CD4+ CD70+ cells, 6.8 ± 4.8 for CD4+ CD25+ cells, 0.8 ± 0.5 for CD4+ CD25+ CD70+ cells, 1.9 ± 2.0 for CD8+ CD70+ cells, 18.6 ± 4.9 for CD19+ CD70+ cells, and 0.2 ± 0.2 for CD14+ CD70+ cells. Mean ± standard deviation values for ATL patients were 84.5 ± 14.9 for CD3+ CD70+ cells (statistically significant [P < 0.01] by t test), 79.3 ± 25.9 for CD4+ CD70+ cells (statistically significant [P < 0.01] by t test), 59.0 ± 30.3 for CD4+ CD25+ cells (statistically significant [P < 0.01] by t test), 54.4 ± 31.2 for CD4+ CD25+ CD70+ cells (statistically significant [P < 0.01] by t test), 55.0 ± 40.4 for CD8+ CD70+ cells, 13.3 ± 7.8 for CD19+ CD70+ cells, and 6.0 ± 13.7 for CD14+ CD70+ cells.
