概要	Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is causally associated with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), an aggressive T-cell malignancy with a poor prognosis. To elucidate ATL pathogenesis in vivo, a variety of animal models have been established; however, the mechanisms driving this disorder remain poorly understood due to deficiencies in each of these animal models. Here, we report a novel HTLV-1–infected humanized mouse model generated by intra–bone marrow injection of human CD1331 stem cells into NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rgc null (NOG) mice (IBMI-huNOG mice). Upon infection, the number of CD41 human T cells in the periphery increased rapidly, and atypical lymphocytes with lobulated nuclei resembling ATL-specific flower cells were observed 4 to 5 months after infection. Proliferation was seen in both CD252 and CD251 CD4 T cells with identical proviral integration sites; however, a limited number of CD251-infected T-cell clones eventually dominated, indicating an association between clonal selection of infected T cells and expression of CD25. Additionally, HTLV-1–specific adaptive immune responses were induced in infected mice and might be involved in the control of HTLV-1–infected cells. Thus, the HTLV-1–i nfected IBMI-huNOG mouse model successfully recapitulated the development of ATL and may serve as an important tool for investigating in vivo mechanisms of ATL leukemogenesis and evaluating anti-ATL drug and vaccine candidates.
