HTLV, leukemia, oncoproteins

To gain insight into the mechanism of T-cell transformation, our studies
are focused in understanding the molecular interactions of HTLV and the host,
with particular emphasis on the effects of individual gene products on T-cell
turnover and interaction with microenvironment.
