ATLL, human T-lymphotropic virus-1–associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma; CTCL, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; GS, gating strategy; LGL, T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia; ND, not done; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; TCR, T-cell receptor; +, clonal rearrangement detected.

*

Mean (range) for GS-1, 80.7% (52.46%−98.6%); and for GS-2, 87.7% (71.65%−99.03%).

All CD4+ or CD8+ T cells are tumor, and GS-2 not different from GS-1.

No aberrancy in T-cell antigen expression detected, and GS-2 is not applicable.
