Tax expression in adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) cells induced by short‐term culture. (A) Lack of Tax expression in primary ATL cells from peripheral blood of patients 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16. Cells were in a quiescent state as determined by 7‐ADD staining. (B) Cell cycle status and Tax expression of short‐term cultured primary ATL cells. Tax expression was induced when cells were actively cycling. Each result represents three independent experiments.
