Biochem/physiol Actions

Derived from a 45 year old Japanese female with generalised lymphadenopathy and heptosplenomegaly (Adult T-cell Leukaemia) by co-culture of her peripheral leukocytes with male umbilical cord lymphocytes. The cells carry HTLV-1 and support the growth of HIV. The cells should be handled under laboratory containment level 3 conditions. MT-2 has a male karyotype and the presence of a Y chromosome has been confirmed by STR profiling at ECACC
Human T cell leukaemia

The human T-cell lines MT-2 and MT-4 carry the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I). When MT-2 and MT-4 were infected with HTLV-III, the probable etiologic agent of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), rapid cytopathogenic effects and cytotoxicity

Virology, 146(2), 272-281 (1985-10-30)
Early events in the infection of the human T-lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I)-positive MT-4 cell line by the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) retrovirus HTLV-III were investigated. The virus was adsorbed completely to the cells within 60 min incubation after inoculation
