A pilot study to establish human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) carrier model using common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus )

Background For the diagnosis and treatment of adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) caused by human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) are required therapeutic modalities urgently. Non‐human primate models for ATLL would provide a valuable information for clinical studies. We did a pilot study to establish an ATLL non‐human primate model using common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ). Methods We inoculated HTLV‐1–producing MT‐2 cells into...
